Fife: walls, weather and approvals
East Central Scotland mixes stone tenements and terraces with post-war council housing and harled bungalows and semis.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Fife: 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 an EWI system in Fife is still under guarantee, we'll suggest checking those terms before booking us.

Approvals in Scotland
Repairs, cleaning and like-for-like patching don't usually need planning permission. If the work grows into replacing most of a wall's render, we check with the council's building standards or building control team first.
Listed buildings are the exception: even small external repairs can need listed building consent, so tell us if your property is listed.
How is damaged EWI repaired?
The damaged area is cut back to sound render and board. Wet or crushed insulation is replaced, a new base coat with overlapping mesh is applied, then primer and a matching finish. The repair overlaps the existing mesh so it's reinforced like the original.

EWI repairs in Fife: questions
Why is my EWI cracking?
Common causes are missing movement joints, poor mesh overlap, fixing problems or movement in the wall. We look for the cause rather than filling the crack.
Will the repair be visible?
Usually slightly, because the existing finish has weathered. A recoat of the elevation evens it out.
My EWI was installed under a grant — who repairs it?
First check the guarantee paperwork and contact the original installer or guarantee provider. If that route isn't available, we can quote.
Do you cover all of Fife?
Yes. We survey and quote EWI repairs across Fife, including Dunfermline, Kirkcaldy, Glenrothes.
Do I need planning permission in Scotland?
In Scotland, householder permitted development rights are set by the Scottish GPDO and are narrower for external wall changes; insulating flats or tenements, changing the appearance of a house noticeably, or working in a conservation area usually needs planning permission. We check your address before quoting.
