What we look for in Peebles
We cover Peebles and nearby Galashiels, Musselburgh and Edinburgh. Peebles is about 22 miles from Hawick. 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 Peebles with attractive brick fronts, one approach is to insulate the front internally and the rear externally.

Permissions in Scotland
Internal insulation rarely needs planning permission; listed buildings need consent for internal changes.
Where a building warrant is needed for Peebles 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.
