What we do here

Building and renovation in Wick.

Wick sits on the coast, where salt air and wind-driven rain find every weak detail, so weathering, fixings and drainage get specified for the exposure rather than for a sheltered inland site. In practice most of what we are asked for in Wick is renovation of stone and harled property, with the rest of what we do available alongside it.

Questions

Working in Wick.

What building work do you do in Wick?

Across Wick (KW1) the work is mostly renovation of stone and harled property, roof work and refurbishment. Wick sits on the coast, where salt air and wind-driven rain find every weak detail, so weathering, fixings and drainage get specified for the exposure rather than for a sheltered inland site. Every job starts with a proper look at the building rather than a price guessed over the phone.

Do you charge extra to work in Wick?

No. Travel is included in the price of the work. Wick is roughly 78 miles from Inverness, and coverage across that distance is stated up front rather than added later. For work of real size we plan the site properly rather than treating it as a day trip.

Have you worked in Wick before?

Yes. Wick is Caithness stone and salt wind together, a combination that punishes any repair done in the wrong material. We are happy to talk through the kind of work we have done near harbour when you get in touch.

Does the property in Wick affect how the job is done?

Very much so. Coastal property in Wick takes salt and wind-driven rain constantly, so fixings, flashings, render and drainage all have to be specified for it. The failures we get called to on the coast are almost always the same thing: a detail that would have been fine two miles inland.

Can you take on a large or long-running project in Wick?

Yes, and that is the work the firm is built around. We are currently delivering a multi-year Highland shooting lodge renovation running through to 2029, so a substantial renovation or new build in Wick is well within what we are set up to hold.

How quickly can you quote a job in Wick?

Usually within a week or two of getting in touch, depending on the size of the job and where Wick sits in the current programme. Quotes are free, carry no obligation, and you get the price in writing before any work starts.
