Local considerations in Montrose
As well as Montrose itself, we quote in Arbroath, Forfar and Dundee. It's roughly 25 miles from Montrose to Dundee, the largest town in Dundee and Angus. 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.
Where eaves are shallow on a house in Montrose, grey EPS can sometimes avoid the cost of extending the roofline.

Approvals in Scotland
Scottish householder rules mean many Montrose 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 Montrose work, it's obtained before installation starts, and the quote says who arranges it.
How thick does the board need to be?
On a 225mm solid brick wall, around 90mm of grey EPS or 100–110mm of white EPS typically gets close to 0.30 W/m²K. Stone walls, concrete panels and hollow-block walls start from different points, so the system supplier's calculation for your wall sets the final thickness.

EPS insulation in Montrose: questions
How long does EPS last on a wall?
The board itself doesn't degrade when protected by the render system. Service life depends on the render, sealants and detailing, typically 25–30 years or more with maintenance.
Is EPS insulation safe on a house?
EPS is used inside render systems that are fire-tested as a whole. On low-rise houses it is widely used. On taller buildings, or where guidance calls for non-combustible materials, mineral wool systems are specified instead.
Will woodpeckers damage EPS?
It happens occasionally, especially near woodland. Damage is to the render and board surface and is repaired with a mesh patch and colour-matched finish.
