Before we quote in Musselburgh
We also cover Edinburgh and Kirkcaldy, close to Musselburgh. Musselburgh is about 6 miles from Edinburgh. East Central Scotland mixes stone tenements and terraces with post-war council housing and harled bungalows and semis.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Edinburgh and the Lothians: 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 Musselburgh is insulated and the other isn't, we detail the boundary so the neighbour can join later.

Planning and building control in Scotland
Scottish householder rules mean many Musselburgh 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 Musselburgh work, it's obtained before installation starts, and the quote says who arranges it.
What does the work involve?
After checking the wall condition, any spalling concrete or corroded steel is reported before boards go on. Fixings are chosen for the substrate — concrete, steel-framed panels or mixed constructions — and the system is detailed around eaves, cills and the junction with neighbouring properties, which may not be insulated.

Non-traditional houses in Musselburgh: 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 Musselburgh?
Yes — we survey and quote non-traditional house insulation in Musselburgh (EH21) and nearby Edinburgh, Kirkcaldy and Glenrothes, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
