Local considerations in Kelso
We also cover Galashiels and Hawick, close to Kelso. Kelso is about 18 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.
For Kelso properties, the survey also confirms whether planning or building control is needed for your address.

Scotland: planning and regulations
For Kelso 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 Kelso needs a warrant.
What do I get afterwards?
A written quote listing the system (board, thickness and finish), the detailing included, scaffolding, any repairs found, exclusions, the VAT treatment and the expected programme. Where planning or building control is needed, the quote says so and who handles it.

Survey and quote in Kelso: 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.
Can you quote from photos?
We can give a guide figure from photos and measurements, but a fixed price needs a visit.
How long is the quote valid?
The quote states its validity period, usually 30 days, because material prices change.
