Homes and walls in Stranraer
We cover Stranraer and the wider Dumfries and Galloway; island and remote addresses are surveyed by arrangement. South West Scotland has stone and harled houses, coastal towns and post-war council housing.
Parts of Dumfries and Galloway fall in the higher wind-driven rain exposure bands, especially coastal and upland sites, so render specification, movement joints and detailing at cills, verges and the base of the wall matter more than usual.
For commercial premises in Stranraer, we programme the work around opening hours so the building can keep trading.

Approvals in Scotland
Scottish householder rules mean many Stranraer 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 Stranraer work, it's obtained before installation starts, and the quote says who arranges it.
Scotland restricts combustible cladding on buildings with a storey more than 11 metres above ground, so taller buildings get non-combustible systems.
Which system suits a commercial building?
The building's height, use (for example, residential or assembly use) and fire strategy shape the choice. Mineral wool systems are typical for multi-storey and public buildings; EPS may suit single-storey units. The system manufacturer's classification is confirmed in writing.
