What we look for in Arbroath
We also cover Montrose and Forfar, close to Arbroath. It's roughly 16 miles from Arbroath to Dundee, the largest town in Dundee and Angus. Tayside has stone tenements and terraces in the towns, harled cottages and post-war estates.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Dundee and Angus: 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.
On solid-walled houses in Arbroath, the gable or the most weather-exposed wall is often the place to start.

Planning and building control in Scotland
For Arbroath properties, flats and tenements need planning permission for external insulation, and a noticeable change of finish on a house often does too under Scottish rules.
Where a building warrant is needed for Arbroath work, it's obtained before installation starts, and the quote says who arranges it.

Solid wall insulation in Arbroath: 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.
Does solid wall insulation cause condensation?
It can if detailed poorly, particularly internally. A condensation risk check for the proposed build-up and careful detailing at joists, reveals and corners avoid it.
Can I do one wall at a time?
Yes. Many owners start with the coldest or most exposed elevation, often a gable end.
