Before we quote in Worksop

Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Derbyshire: 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.
EPS is a common choice for two-storey houses, mainly on cost and weight, and we price it alongside mineral wool for homes in Worksop.

Permissions in England
Before quoting in Worksop, 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.
How thick does the board need to be?
On a 225mm solid brick wall, around 90mm of grey EPS or 100–110mm of white EPS typically gets close to 0.30 W/m²K. Stone walls, concrete panels and hollow-block walls start from different points, so the system supplier's calculation for your wall sets the final thickness.

EPS insulation in Worksop: questions
How long does EPS last on a wall?
The board itself doesn't degrade when protected by the render system. Service life depends on the render, sealants and detailing, typically 25–30 years or more with maintenance.
Will woodpeckers damage EPS?
It happens occasionally, especially near woodland. Damage is to the render and board surface and is repaired with a mesh patch and colour-matched finish.
Is EPS insulation safe on a house?
EPS is used inside render systems that are fire-tested as a whole. On low-rise houses it is widely used. On taller buildings, or where guidance calls for non-combustible materials, mineral wool systems are specified instead.
