What we look for in Bellshill
As well as Bellshill itself, we quote in Motherwell, Coatbridge and Hamilton. It's roughly 7 miles from Bellshill to East Kilbride, the largest town in Lanarkshire. West Central Scotland has sandstone tenements, interwar and post-war council housing including no-fines and other system-built types, and many harled (roughcast) houses.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Lanarkshire: 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 Bellshill, the gable or the most weather-exposed wall is often the place to start.

Solid wall insulation in Bellshill: questions
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.
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.
