Campbeltown: walls, weather and approvals
We cover Campbeltown and the wider Argyll and Bute; island and remote addresses are surveyed by arrangement. The Highlands and Islands have many exposed stone and harled homes, timber-framed houses and scattered rural properties.
Parts of Argyll and Bute 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.
Older solid-walled homes in Campbeltown can suit a vapour-open mineral wool build-up better than foam; the survey checks the wall first.

Approvals in Scotland
In Scotland, permitted development for external wall changes is narrower, so in Campbeltown we check with the council's planning team where the appearance changes, and always for flats, tenements and conservation areas.
Where a building warrant is needed for Campbeltown work, it's obtained before installation starts, and the quote says who arranges it.
Scotland restricts combustible cladding on buildings with a storey more than 11 metres above ground, so taller buildings get non-combustible systems.
Why choose mineral wool over EPS?
Two reasons come up most: fire and moisture. Mineral wool doesn't burn, which is why guidance for taller residential buildings points to non-combustible external wall materials. It is also vapour-open, so a solid wall that holds some moisture can keep drying outwards through the insulation and render.
The trade-offs are weight and cost. Slabs are denser, need more fixings and take longer to install, so the price per m² is higher than EPS.

Mineral wool EWI in Campbeltown: questions
Can mineral wool EWI have a brick finish?
Yes. Brick slips can be bonded over mineral wool systems designed for them, with additional fixings for the extra weight.
Is mineral wool needed for a bungalow?
Rarely for fire reasons. It may still be chosen on a damp-prone solid wall where a vapour-open build-up is wanted.
Is mineral wool better than EPS?
Not always better — different. Mineral wool wins on fire performance, breathability and acoustics; EPS wins on cost, weight and thinner boards for the same U-value. The wall, the building height and your priorities decide it.
