Dunfermline: walls, weather and approvals
We cover Dunfermline and nearby Livingston, Kirkcaldy and Edinburgh. East Central Scotland mixes stone tenements and terraces with post-war council housing and harled bungalows and semis.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Fife: 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.
On brick terraces in Dunfermline, slips can insulate the wall while keeping the street's look.

Approvals in Scotland
Scottish householder rules mean many Dunfermline jobs that change the outside of a house need a planning application; we confirm the position before quoting.
Where a building warrant is needed for Dunfermline 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 Dunfermline: questions
Is a brick slip finish more expensive?
Yes — roughly £70–£120 per m² more than render, because of materials and slower installation.
Do brick slips fall off?
Not when installed to the system manufacturer's specification, with the right adhesive, fixings and pointing.
Can I mix brick slips and render?
Yes. A brick plinth or ground floor with render above is a common combination.

Yes — we survey and quote brick slip finishes in Dunfermline (KY12) and nearby Livingston, Kirkcaldy and Edinburgh, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
