What we look for in Orkney, Shetland and the Western Isles
The Highlands and Islands have many exposed stone and harled homes, timber-framed houses and scattered rural properties.
Parts of Orkney, Shetland and the Western Isles 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 park home owners around Orkney, Shetland and the Western Isles, we start by checking the park's licence spacing and any rules on exterior colours.

Approvals in Scotland
Park homes are governed by the site licence rather than householder planning rules, so the key check in your park is the licence's spacing between homes and any rules on exterior finishes.
Insulation adds board and render thickness to the outside of the home, so we measure the gaps to neighbouring homes before specifying it.
Is park home insulation worth it?
Park homes lose heat quickly through thin walls, so owners often notice a warmer, less draughty home. The new finish also replaces painted or tired cladding. Actual savings depend on the home, its heating and how it's used, so we don't promise a figure.

Park home insulation in Orkney, Shetland and the Western Isles: questions
How long does park home insulation take?
Usually 3–6 working days for a single unit once materials are on site, depending on weather and the number of windows.
Will insulation affect the gap to my neighbour?
It reduces it by the board and render thickness. The site licence sets minimum spacing, so we measure and check before specifying the thickness.
Is VAT charged on park home insulation?
Installing insulation in a residential home is currently zero-rated until 31 March 2027. Your quote shows the VAT treatment for each line.
Do you cover all of Orkney, Shetland and the Western Isles?
Yes. We survey and quote park home insulation across Orkney, Shetland and the Western Isles, including Kirkwall, Stornoway, Lerwick. Island and remote addresses are surveyed by arrangement.
Do I need planning permission in Scotland?
In Scotland, householder permitted development rights are set by the Scottish GPDO and are narrower for external wall changes; insulating flats or tenements, changing the appearance of a house noticeably, or working in a conservation area usually needs planning permission. We check your address before quoting.
