Question
To ask the Scottish Government what the average cost is per square metre of cladding insultation for a stone-built house.
Answer
The Scottish Government does not collect or publish information about prices to install external wall insulation per meter squared. The cost of installing external cavity wall insulation will vary significantly to reflect different sizes of property, construction type, materials and overhead costs.
We obtain independent technical advice in tendering public contracts for these type of works as part of our Warmer Home Scotland service. Similarly we request and take account of information provided by our delivery partners in designing our fuel poverty and energy efficiency schemes.
