Before we quote in Bathgate
We cover Bathgate and nearby Livingston, Falkirk and Airdrie. It's roughly 18 miles from Bathgate to Edinburgh, the largest town in Edinburgh and the Lothians. 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 Edinburgh and the Lothians: 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.
Schools and community buildings around Bathgate are usually phased by elevation, with noisy stages in holidays where possible.

Planning and building control in Scotland
In Scotland, permitted development for external wall changes is narrower, so in Bathgate we check with the council's planning team where the appearance changes, and always for flats, tenements and conservation areas.
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.
How is the work programmed?
Work is split by elevation so entrances and fire exits stay usable. For schools, noisy and access-heavy stages are planned around holidays where possible. Health and safety duties under CDM 2015 are agreed at the start, including who acts as principal contractor.
