Local considerations in Aberdeen
We cover Aberdeen and nearby Inverurie, Peterhead and Montrose. North East Scotland has granite and stone-built homes, harled cottages and post-war estates, with exposed coastal settings along much of it.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire: 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.
For solid-walled homes in Aberdeen, we check wall thickness and age first to confirm there's no cavity to fill.

Approvals in Scotland
Scottish householder rules mean many Aberdeen 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.
What does solid wall insulation cost?
External systems run at roughly £105–£210 per m² of wall depending on the board and finish. Internal insulation is roughly £75–£130 per m², plus the cost of moving radiators, sockets and kitchen units.

Solid wall insulation in Aberdeen: questions
Can I get a grant for solid wall insulation?
Some schemes cover it for eligible households — for example ECO4 until 31 December 2026, Home Energy Scotland's grant and loan, Wales' Warm Homes Nest and NI's Affordable Warmth Scheme. Each has its own eligibility and installer rules; see our grants guide.
Is solid wall insulation worth it?
For many solid-walled homes it's one of the biggest single improvements to comfort, because the walls are often the largest heat-loss area. Savings depend on the home and heating, so we don't promise a figure.
Can I do one wall at a time?
Yes. Many owners start with the coldest or most exposed elevation, often a gable end.
Do you cover Aberdeen?
Yes — we survey and quote solid wall insulation in Aberdeen (AB10) and nearby Inverurie, Peterhead and Montrose, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
