Before we quote in Livingston
Surveys in Livingston also cover the surrounding EH54 district and towns such as Bathgate and Dunfermline. It's roughly 13 miles from Livingston to Edinburgh, the largest town in Edinburgh and the Lothians. 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 Edinburgh and the Lothians: 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.
Surveys in Livingston are booked at a time that suits you, with the written quote following afterwards.

Scotland: planning and regulations
For Livingston 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 Livingston 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.
