Before we quote in Montrose
As well as Montrose itself, we quote in Arbroath, Forfar and Dundee. Montrose is about 25 miles from Dundee. Tayside has stone tenements and terraces in the towns, harled cottages and post-war estates.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Dundee and Angus: 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.
On blocks and taller buildings in Montrose, mineral wool is the default because of the fire guidance for external walls.

Planning and building control in Scotland
Scottish householder rules mean many Montrose jobs that change the outside of a house need a planning application; we confirm the position before quoting.
Where a building warrant is needed for Montrose 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 Montrose: questions
Does mineral wool get wet?
It is water-repellent and protected by the render system. Like any insulation it must not be left exposed to rain during installation, so boards are covered and work stops in wet weather.
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.
Do you cover Montrose?
Yes — we survey and quote mineral wool external wall insulation in Montrose (DD10) and nearby Arbroath, Forfar and Dundee, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
