What we look for in East Kilbride
Surveys in East Kilbride also cover the surrounding G74 district and towns such as Cambuslang and Rutherglen. West Central Scotland has sandstone tenements, interwar and post-war council housing including no-fines and other system-built types, and many harled (roughcast) houses.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Lanarkshire: 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.
On mixed-tenure blocks in East Kilbride, we agree access and resident notices with the managing agent before scaffold goes up.

Approvals in Scotland
Scottish householder rules mean many East Kilbride 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 East Kilbride 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 East Kilbride: 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 East Kilbride?
Yes — we survey and quote EWI for flats and blocks in East Kilbride (G74) and nearby Cambuslang, Rutherglen and Hamilton, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
