What we look for in Dundee
We cover Dundee and nearby Forfar, Arbroath and Blairgowrie. 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.
For terraced homes in Dundee with attractive brick fronts, one approach is to insulate the front internally and the rear externally.

Scotland: planning and regulations
Internal insulation rarely needs planning permission; listed buildings need consent for internal changes.
Where a building warrant is needed for Dundee work, it's obtained before installation starts, and the quote says who arranges it.
What are the options for internal insulation?
- Insulated plasterboard — PIR or phenolic foam bonded to plasterboard, fixed to the wall and skimmed. Thinnest option.
- Insulated stud wall — a timber or metal frame filled with insulation, with a vapour control layer and plasterboard. Takes more space but runs services easily.
- Wood fibre and lime — breathable boards finished in lime plaster, for older walls that need to manage moisture.
