Homes and walls in Kirkwall
We cover Kirkwall and the wider Orkney, Shetland and the Western Isles; island and remote addresses are surveyed by arrangement. 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.
We can quote park homes in Kirkwall from photos and measurements first, then confirm on site.

Planning and building control in Scotland
Park homes are governed by the site licence rather than householder planning rules, so the key check in Kirkwall is the licence's spacing between homes and any rules on exterior finishes.
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.
