What we look for in Hawick
We cover Hawick and nearby Galashiels, Kelso and Peebles. The Scottish Borders have stone-built towns and villages, rural cottages and some post-war estates.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Scottish Borders: 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 Hawick with attractive brick fronts, one approach is to insulate the front internally and the rear externally.

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 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 Hawick: questions
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.
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.
Can I stay in the house?
Yes, but each room is out of use while it's worked on, typically 3–5 days.
Do you cover Hawick?
Yes — we survey and quote internal wall insulation in Hawick (TD9) and nearby Galashiels, Kelso and Peebles, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
