Homes and walls in Galashiels
We also cover Hawick and Kelso, close to Galashiels. Galashiels is about 13 miles from Hawick. The Scottish Borders have stone-built towns and villages, rural cottages and some post-war estates.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Scottish Borders: 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
Scottish householder rules mean many Galashiels 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 Galashiels 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.
