What we look for in Fareham
As well as Fareham itself, we quote in Gosport, Portsmouth and Waterlooville. Fareham is about 10 miles from Southampton. Homes across the South East range from inter-war semis and post-war estates, which are mostly cavity-walled, to older solid-walled cottages and Victorian town terraces.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Hampshire: 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.
Schools and community buildings around Fareham are usually phased by elevation, with noisy stages in holidays where possible.

Approvals in England
For a house in Fareham, external insulation or render is often permitted development if it looks similar to the existing walls; conservation areas, flats, commercial buildings and listed buildings need permission or consent, so we check your address first.
Building control applies once more than half of a wall is insulated or re-rendered, or more than a quarter of the whole building envelope, and your written quote says how that's handled.
On residential buildings with a storey 11 metres or more above ground, guidance points to non-combustible external wall materials, and combustible materials are banned in relevant buildings 18 metres and over, so we specify mineral wool systems there.
Which system suits a commercial building?
The building's height, use (for example, residential or assembly use) and fire strategy shape the choice. Mineral wool systems are typical for multi-storey and public buildings; EPS may suit single-storey units. The system manufacturer's classification is confirmed in writing.

Commercial EWI in Fareham: questions
Is VAT 0% on commercial insulation?
Usually not. The zero rate covers insulation installed in residential accommodation and, since 1 February 2024, buildings used solely for a relevant charitable purpose, such as many charity-run village halls. Other commercial work is standard-rated.
Do you provide a maintenance plan?
Yes — the handover includes the system documents and recommended inspection and cleaning intervals.
Can the building stay open during the works?
Usually, yes. The work is phased and the scaffold layout keeps entrances and escape routes clear.
Do you cover Fareham?
Yes — we survey and quote commercial external wall insulation in Fareham (PO16) and nearby Gosport, Portsmouth and Waterlooville, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
