Before we quote in Stornoway
We cover Stornoway and the wider Orkney, Shetland and the Western Isles; island and remote addresses are surveyed by arrangement. The Highlands and Islands have many exposed stone and harled homes, timber-framed houses and scattered rural properties.
Parts of Orkney, Shetland and the Western Isles 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 Stornoway, we programme the work around opening hours so the building can keep trading.

Permissions in Scotland
For Stornoway 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 Stornoway 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.
