What we look for in Elgin
We also cover Lossiemouth and Forres, close to Elgin. North East Scotland has granite and stone-built homes, harled cottages and post-war estates, with exposed coastal settings along much of it.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Moray: 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.

Planning and building control in Scotland
For Elgin 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 Elgin needs a warrant.
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.

The quote states its validity period, usually 30 days, because material prices change.
