What we look for in Irvine
We also cover Kilmarnock and Ayr, close to Irvine. Irvine sits around 6 miles from Kilmarnock. South West Scotland has stone and harled houses, coastal towns and post-war council housing.
Parts of Ayrshire 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.
On solid-walled houses in Irvine, the gable or the most weather-exposed wall is often the place to start.

Approvals in Scotland
In Scotland, permitted development for external wall changes is narrower, so in Irvine we check with the council's planning team where the appearance changes, and always for flats, tenements and conservation areas.
Where a building warrant is needed for Irvine work, it's obtained before installation starts, and the quote says who arranges it.
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 Irvine: questions
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 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.
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 Irvine?
Yes — we survey and quote solid wall insulation in Irvine (KA12) and nearby Kilmarnock, Ayr and Newton Mearns, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
