Before we quote in Inverness
We cover Inverness and nearby Nairn, Forres and Elgin. The Highlands and Islands have many exposed stone and harled homes, timber-framed houses and scattered rural properties.
Parts of Highland 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.
Surveys in Inverness are booked at a time that suits you, with the written quote following afterwards.

Permissions in Scotland
For Inverness 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.
Where a building warrant is needed for Inverness work, it's obtained before installation starts, and the quote says who arranges it.
Is the survey really free?
For installation quotes, yes, with no obligation. Detailed condition reports on existing render or EWI — for example for a purchase, a dispute or a warranty claim — are a separate paid service, priced up front.

How long does the survey take?
Usually 45–90 minutes for a house. Blocks and commercial buildings take longer.
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.
