Homes and walls in Nairn
We also cover Forres and Inverness, close to Nairn. It's roughly 15 miles from Nairn to Inverness, the largest town in Highland. The Highlands and Islands have many exposed stone and harled homes, timber-framed houses and scattered rural properties.
Parts of Highland 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.
Where a property in Nairn is in a conservation area or the front elevation must stay unchanged, internal insulation is often the practical route.

Scotland: planning and regulations
Internal insulation rarely needs planning permission; listed buildings need consent for internal changes.
Where a building warrant is needed for Nairn 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.
