Free survey in Perth
Postcode, service and a phone number is all we need.
What you get
- The survey identifies the construction type before anything is specified
- Fixing design depends on the panel or frame behind the wall
- EWI is not a structural repair for PRC houses designated defective
- Most system-built homes have thin, cold walls and no fillable cavity
Before we quote in Perth
Surveys in Perth also cover the surrounding PH1 district and towns such as Blairgowrie and Crieff. Tayside has stone tenements and terraces in the towns, harled cottages and post-war estates.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Perth and Kinross: 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 a home in Perth is system-built, the first job is confirming the construction type.

Scotland: planning and regulations
Scottish householder rules mean many Perth 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 Perth needs a warrant.
How do I know if my house is non-traditional?
Clues include concrete panels or posts visible at corners, a smooth concrete or rendered finish on houses of a 1940s–1960s estate, steel sheeting on the upper storey, or a mortgage valuation that mentioned the construction type. Common types include Wimpey no-fines (poured concrete), Airey and Cornish Unit (precast reinforced concrete), Reema, Orlit and BISF (steel frame). We identify the type during the survey.

Non-traditional houses in Perth: 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 Perth?
Yes — we survey and quote non-traditional house insulation in Perth (PH1) and nearby Blairgowrie, Crieff and Glenrothes, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
