Homes and walls in Barnstaple
Surveys in Barnstaple also cover the surrounding EX31 district and towns such as Bideford and Exeter. Barnstaple is about 49 miles from Plymouth.
The South West has many stone and solid-walled cottages, exposed coastal properties and a share of post-war system-built houses, including types such as the Cornish Unit.
Parts of Devon fall in the higher wind-driven rain exposure bands, especially coastal and upland sites, so render specification, movement joints and detailing at cills, verges and the base of the wall matter more than usual.
