Before we quote in Hawick
Surveys in Hawick also cover the surrounding TD9 district and towns such as Galashiels and Kelso. The Scottish Borders have stone-built towns and villages, rural cottages and some post-war estates.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Scottish Borders: 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 Hawick, slips can insulate the wall while keeping the street's look.

Approvals in Scotland
For Hawick 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 Hawick 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 Hawick: questions
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 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.
Do you cover Hawick?
Yes — we survey and quote brick slip finishes in Hawick (TD9) and nearby Galashiels, Kelso and Peebles, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
