Arbroath: walls, weather and approvals
As well as Arbroath itself, we quote in Montrose, Forfar and Dundee. Arbroath is about 16 miles from Dundee. Tayside has stone tenements and terraces in the towns, harled cottages and post-war estates.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Dundee and Angus: sheltered town streets fare better than walls on high ground or facing the prevailing weather, and the render, beads and cill details are chosen with that in mind.
We bring brick slip samples to Arbroath surveys so you can compare them with neighbouring houses.

Permissions in Scotland
For Arbroath properties, flats and tenements need planning permission for external insulation, and a noticeable change of finish on a house often does too under Scottish rules.
Where a building warrant is needed for Arbroath work, it's obtained before installation starts, and the quote says who arranges it.
How is the brick slip system built up?
Insulation boards are fixed as for any EWI, followed by a reinforced base coat. The slips are bonded with the system adhesive, spaced for joints, then pointed. Corners use L-shaped slips so the edge looks like a solid brick.

Brick slip EWI in Arbroath: questions
Can I mix brick slips and render?
Yes. A brick plinth or ground floor with render above is a common combination.
Is a brick slip finish more expensive?
Yes — roughly £70–£120 per m² more than render, because of materials and slower installation.
Will brick slips match my neighbours' brick?
We source slips to get close in colour and texture and show samples beforehand, but an exact match to weathered brick isn't always possible.
Do you cover Arbroath?
Yes — we survey and quote brick slip finishes in Arbroath (DD11) and nearby Montrose, Forfar and Dundee, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
