What we look for in Glenrothes
Surveys in Glenrothes also cover the surrounding KY7 district and towns such as Kirkcaldy and Dunfermline. It's roughly 14 miles from Glenrothes to Dunfermline, the largest town in Fife. East Central Scotland mixes stone tenements and terraces with post-war council housing and harled bungalows and semis.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Fife: 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 Glenrothes with attractive brick fronts, one approach is to insulate the front internally and the rear externally.

Approvals 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 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 Glenrothes: questions
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.
What happens to my radiators and sockets?
They're taken off and refitted on the new wall face. Electrical work is done by a qualified electrician.
