Dundee: walls, weather and approvals
Surveys in Dundee also cover the surrounding DD1 district and towns such as Forfar and Arbroath. 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.
For commercial premises in Dundee, we programme the work around opening hours so the building can keep trading.

Permissions in Scotland
For Dundee 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.
Over-cladding work in Scotland often needs a building warrant from the council's building standards service, with Section 6 of the Technical Handbooks setting insulation benchmarks.
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.
