Homes and walls in Lancaster
As well as Lancaster itself, we quote in Morecambe, Fleetwood and Thornton-Cleveleys. It's roughly 20 miles from Lancaster 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.
For commercial premises in Lancaster, we programme the work around opening hours so the building can keep trading.

Planning and building control in England
For a house in Lancaster, 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.
