External Wall Insulation in Fraserburgh
EWI systems that insulate solid walls externally and finish them in a warranted render topcoat.
We carry out external wall insulation across Fraserburgh and the surrounding Aberdeenshire area throughout the year.
Aberdeenshire is characterised by granite terraces, farm cottages and exposed coastal housing, with harling repair on granite and frost damage on exposed elevations the recurring theme on the properties we survey.
With cold, exposed North Sea conditions with severe frost, specification matters more in this part of the country than a national price list suggests. Aberdeen granite is dense and unforgiving, and traditional harling rather than smooth render is what has historically worked on it.
When external wall insulation is the right call. Choose EWI on solid-wall, no-fines or non-traditional construction where you want a genuine thermal upgrade rather than just a new finish.

FAQs
External Wall Insulation in Fraserburgh
What time of year is best for rendering?
Spring through autumn is ideal. Render should not be applied in frost or in very hot direct sun, so winter work needs protection and settled conditions.
Can you render over existing render?
Sometimes, if the existing coat is completely sound and well-bonded. We hammer-test it first. Anything hollow has to come off, because covering failure just hides it.
Are you insured?
Yes — full public liability cover, and we can send the certificate before we start. We are happy to provide RAMS for commercial and contractor work.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, with teams across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. If we are not the right firm for your location we will tell you rather than waste your time.
How much does external wall insulation save?
On a typical uninsulated solid-wall semi it commonly cuts wall heat loss substantially and makes the biggest single difference to comfort. Actual savings depend on the existing construction, heating system and how you use the house.
