From survey to sign-off in Eyemouth
Look and measure
We check the wall, the span you want and what the wall is carrying, and photograph anything the engineer needs to see.
Design and price
Calculations come back from the engineer and we confirm your fixed written price, line by line.
Building warrant
A building warrant is applied for from Scottish Borders Council, and work starts only once the warrant has been granted.
Fit, inspect, finish
The work is propped and the steel installed and packed tight. After inspection the opening is boxed, plastered and left clean.

Building rules in Eyemouth
Scottish rules are stricter on timing than in England: the building warrant must be in place before the wall is touched. We prepare the application with the engineer's calculations and submit it to Scottish Borders Council. The finished work is then certified and a completion certificate submitted for acceptance.
There is no party wall notice system in Scotland. Instead, check your title deeds and, for flats, the tenement management scheme, and talk to neighbours early if the beam bears into a shared wall.
