Local considerations in Dundee
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 blocks in Dundee, we start with height, storeys and the planning position, because those decide the system.

Approvals 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.
Scotland's building standards cover changes to external wall construction; we check whether your job in Dundee 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.
For tenements and flats, your title deeds or the Tenement Management Scheme set how owners agree to the work and share its cost.
How disruptive is it for residents?
Most work happens from scaffolding outside. Residents may need to allow brief access to extend window cills, vents or flues from the inside. We provide a notice for residents covering dates, scaffold, and how to raise concerns.

Flats and blocks in Dundee: questions
Can one flat have external wall insulation on its own?
Rarely. The outside walls are usually owned by the freeholder, the result would look patchy, and planning is unlikely. Whole-building schemes are the norm.
Do flats need planning permission for EWI?
Yes. Permitted development rights for external alterations apply to houses, not flats or maisonettes, so an application is needed.
Do you cover Dundee?
Yes — we survey and quote EWI for flats and blocks in Dundee (DD1) and nearby Forfar, Arbroath and Blairgowrie, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
