Before we quote in Crieff
As well as Crieff itself, we quote in Perth, Alloa and Stirling. It's roughly 16 miles from Crieff to Perth, the largest town in Perth and Kinross. Tayside has stone tenements and terraces in the towns, harled cottages and post-war estates.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Perth and Kinross: 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 older stone and early brick properties in Crieff, we look at a wood fibre and lime build-up first.

Scotland: planning and regulations
Scottish householder rules mean many Crieff 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 finish goes over wood fibre?
A lime-based or mineral render designed for the system, applied over a reinforcing base coat. Lime finishes give the softer, slightly irregular texture that suits cottages and older terraces.

Wood fibre EWI in Crieff: questions
Is wood fibre worth the extra cost?
On older solid walls the main benefit is moisture safety rather than raw U-value. If the wall needs to breathe, the cheaper option can cost more later.
Can wood fibre go on a stone wall?
Yes, after levelling. Rubble stone is often uneven, so a levelling coat or adapted fixing method is used first.
Does wood fibre need a lime render?
It needs the render specified by the system manufacturer, which is usually lime or mineral based.
Do you cover Crieff?
Yes — we survey and quote wood fibre external wall insulation in Crieff (PH7) and nearby Perth, Alloa and Stirling, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
