Thurso: walls, weather and approvals
As well as Thurso itself, we quote in Wick, Kirkwall and Lossiemouth. Thurso sits around 81 miles from Inverness. 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.
If you're comparing quotes in Thurso, the written specification makes it easier to compare like for like.

Permissions in Scotland
For Thurso 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 Thurso 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.

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