Homes and walls in Forfar
We cover Forfar and nearby Dundee, Arbroath and Montrose. Forfar sits around 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 plan internal insulation in Forfar homes room by room so you keep the rest of the house usable.

Planning and building control in Scotland
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 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.
