Homes and walls in Skelmersdale
Surveys in Skelmersdale also cover the surrounding WN8 district and towns such as Ormskirk and Wigan. It's roughly 15 miles from Skelmersdale to Preston, the largest town in Lancashire.
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.
Parts of Lancashire 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.

Approvals in England
Planning in Skelmersdale follows England's national rules: similar-looking finishes on houses are usually permitted, while flats, commercial premises, conservation areas and streets under an Article 4 direction need an application.
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.
