Homes and walls in Forres
As well as Forres itself, we quote in Nairn, Elgin and Lossiemouth. It's roughly 11 miles from Forres to Elgin, the largest town in Moray. 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.
If you're comparing quotes in Forres, the written specification makes it easier to compare like for like.

Scotland: planning and regulations
Scottish householder rules mean many Forres jobs that change the outside of a house need a planning application; we confirm the position before quoting.
Where a building warrant is needed for Forres work, it's obtained before installation starts, and the quote says who arranges it.
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 Forres: 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.
How long does the survey take?
Usually 45–90 minutes for a house. Blocks and commercial buildings take longer.
How long is the quote valid?
The quote states its validity period, usually 30 days, because material prices change.
