What's included

- Steel-framed BISF houses need care around the upper-storey cladding
- The survey identifies the construction type before anything is specified
- Fixing design depends on the panel or frame behind the wall
Annan: walls, weather and approvals
As well as Annan itself, we quote in Dumfries, Hawick and Peebles. Annan is about 15 miles from Dumfries. South West Scotland has stone and harled houses, coastal towns and post-war council housing.
Parts of Dumfries and Galloway 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.
For concrete houses in Annan, we report any visible spalling or cracking before quoting the insulation, not after.

Planning and building control in Scotland
Scottish householder rules mean many Annan jobs that change the outside of a house need a planning application; we confirm the position before quoting.
Scotland's building standards cover changes to external wall construction; we check whether your job in Annan needs a warrant.
Does EWI fix mortgage problems with PRC houses?
Not on its own. Some precast reinforced concrete (PRC) house types were designated defective, and many lenders want a certified structural repair before they will lend. Insulation and render over the outside is not that repair. Other types, such as Wimpey no-fines, are generally treated differently. If mortgageability matters, speak to your lender or a surveyor before booking any work.

Non-traditional houses in Annan: questions
Will EWI make my house mortgageable?
It can make a house more attractive and better insulated, but it does not replace a certified structural repair where a lender requires one. Ask your lender before relying on it.
What if my neighbour isn't insulating?
We finish the system neatly at the boundary with a closing detail so the neighbouring house isn't affected and can be joined later.
Can you put EWI on a BISF house?
Yes, with care. The steel frame and upper-storey cladding need a system and fixing method designed for that construction, and the condition of the frame should be understood first.
Do you cover Annan?
Yes — we survey and quote non-traditional house insulation in Annan (DG12) and nearby Dumfries, Hawick and Peebles, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
