Stranraer: walls, weather and approvals
Surveys in Stranraer (DG9) are arranged around travel to the wider Dumfries and Galloway. South West Scotland has stone and harled houses, coastal towns and post-war council housing.
Parts of Dumfries and Galloway fall in the higher wind-driven rain exposure bands, especially coastal and upland sites, so render specification, movement joints and detailing at cills, verges and the base of the wall matter more than usual.
We plan internal insulation in Stranraer homes room by room so you keep the rest of the house usable.

Scotland: planning and regulations
Internal insulation rarely needs planning permission; listed buildings need consent for internal changes.
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.
What are the risks with internal insulation?
Insulating inside makes the masonry colder, so moisture risk rises. Weak points are where floor joists bear into the wall, window reveals and corners. A condensation risk check for the build-up, a continuous vapour control layer where specified, and returning insulation into reveals deal with most of it.

Internal wall insulation in Stranraer: questions
What happens to my radiators and sockets?

How much room space will I lose?
Usually 50–100mm on each insulated wall, depending on the system.
Is internal insulation cheaper than external?
Per m² usually yes, but the cost of moving fittings and redecorating narrows the gap on whole-house jobs.
