Which rules apply in Scotland?
PAS 2035:2023 sets the whole-house retrofit process (assessment, coordination, design, installation and evaluation), and PAS 2030:2023 covers installation. Most government-backed retrofit schemes require both, with TrustMark lodgement. We confirm in writing, before appointment, how each measure in your scope will meet those requirements.
What does it cost in Scotland?
Our guide range for external wall insulation in Scotland is £9,700–£17,950 per house. That is the UK range of £10,000–£18,500 (published figure) adjusted by a regional cost factor of 0.97 (our own estimate); figures are before VAT where the source states it. Every job is priced after survey; specification, access and the condition of the homes will move the figure.
How do we deliver it?
Detailing is agreed before ordering, opening by opening. It is the difference between an EWI scheme that lasts thirty years and one that develops damp in three.
Common questions

Does EWI cause damp?
Badly detailed EWI can. Most failures happen at window reveals, eaves and ground level, which is where we spend the most care.
Can EWI be used on blocks of flats?
Often, yes. On blocks, the fire performance of the whole external wall is a design matter, and the rules on combustible materials depend on the building's height and use. We work to the design and do not substitute materials.
