Before we quote in Dumfries
We cover Dumfries and the wider Dumfries and Galloway; island and remote addresses are surveyed by arrangement. South West Scotland has stone and harled houses, coastal towns and post-war council housing.
Parts of Dumfries and Galloway 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.
If you're comparing quotes in Dumfries, the written specification makes it easier to compare like for like.

Approvals in Scotland
For Dumfries 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 Dumfries needs a warrant.
What happens during the survey?
We measure each elevation, photograph the details that affect the job, check the wall construction and look for damp, cracking and loose render. Ground levels and the damp-proof course are recorded so the system starts in the right place. Eaves depth, window cills, flues, meters, soil pipes, satellite dishes and lights are all noted because each one needs a detail.

Survey and quote in Dumfries: questions
Do I need to be home?
Ideally yes, so we can check inside for damp and look at window reveals, but rear and side access is the main thing.
Can you quote from photos?
We can give a guide figure from photos and measurements, but a fixed price needs a visit.
How long is the quote valid?
The quote states its validity period, usually 30 days, because material prices change.
