Non-traditional and concrete house insulation in Arbroath
From Arbroath to Montrose, we price non-traditional house insulation after a measured survey — no guesswork, and no work starts until the price is agreed in writing. For concrete houses in Arbroath, we report any visible spalling or cracking before quoting the insulation, not after.
- Free survey in DD11 and nearby
- Guide price from £120 per m² + scaffold, 0% VAT
- Fixed written price before work starts

Local considerations in Arbroath
As well as Arbroath itself, we quote in Montrose, Forfar and Dundee. Arbroath is about 16 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.
Where one half of a pair in Arbroath is insulated and the other isn't, we detail the boundary so the neighbour can join later.

Permissions in Scotland
Scottish householder rules mean many Arbroath jobs that change the outside of a house need a planning application; we confirm the position before quoting.
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.
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 Arbroath: questions
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 insulate a Wimpey no-fines house?
Yes. No-fines houses have solid poured-concrete walls with no cavity, so EWI is the usual route. The survey checks the concrete condition first.
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.
Do you cover Arbroath?
Yes — we survey and quote non-traditional house insulation in Arbroath (DD11) and nearby Montrose, Forfar and Dundee, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
