Perth: walls, weather and approvals
We cover Perth and nearby Blairgowrie, Crieff and Glenrothes. 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.
If your home in Perth is in a conservation area, we check the council's position on render before suggesting wood fibre EWI.

Permissions in Scotland
Scottish householder rules mean many Perth jobs that change the outside of a house need a planning application; we confirm the position before quoting.
Where a building warrant is needed for Perth work, it's obtained before installation starts, and the quote says who arranges it.
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 Perth: questions
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.
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.
