We also cover Galashiels and Hawick, close to Kelso. Kelso sits around 18 miles from Hawick. 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.
For commercial premises in Kelso, we programme the work around opening hours so the building can keep trading.

Permissions in Scotland
Scottish householder rules mean many Kelso jobs that change the outside of a house need a planning application; we confirm the position before quoting.
Scotland's building standards cover changes to external wall construction; we check whether your job in Kelso needs a warrant.
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.
