Homes and walls in Forfar
We also cover Dundee and Arbroath, close to Forfar. Forfar is about 12 miles from Dundee. Tayside has stone tenements and terraces in the towns, harled cottages and post-war estates.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Dundee and Angus: 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.
We bring finish samples to Forfar surveys so colours can be judged in daylight against your roof and windows.

Permissions in Scotland
For Forfar 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.
Over-cladding work in Scotland often needs a building warrant from the council's building standards service, with Section 6 of the Technical Handbooks setting insulation benchmarks.
Is insulated render the same as EWI?
Yes — insulated render is the everyday name for a rendered EWI system. Some people also use it for thin thermal renders containing aerogel or cork, which are applied 20–40mm thick on heritage walls. They insulate far less than board systems, so we treat them as a specialist option.

Insulated render in Forfar: questions
How long does insulated render last?
Typically 25–30 years or more with maintenance; the manufacturer's documentation sets the service life for the specific system.
Will my house look different?
Yes, if it was brick or pebble dash. If you want to keep a brick look, a brick-slip finish over the insulation is an option.
Does insulated render need painting?
Through-coloured silicone and acrylic renders don't need painting. Mineral renders are usually painted with a compatible masonry paint.
