Homes and walls in Manchester

The North West has one of the largest stocks of pre-1919 solid-wall terraces in England, alongside Pennine stone houses and post-war estates.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Greater Manchester: sheltered town streets fare better than walls on high ground or facing the prevailing weather, and the render, beads and cill details are chosen with that in mind.

Approvals in England
Before quoting in Manchester, we check whether the property is in a conservation area, under an Article 4 direction or listed, because that decides whether changing the outside needs planning permission.
Insulating or re-rendering more than half of a wall's area brings in Part L of the Building Regulations, so building control is notified and the wall is upgraded to about 0.30 W/m²K where practical.
