What we look for in Newton Mearns
We cover Newton Mearns and nearby Paisley, Rutherglen and East Kilbride. It's roughly 7 miles from Newton Mearns to Glasgow, the largest town in Greater Glasgow. West Central Scotland has sandstone tenements, interwar and post-war council housing including no-fines and other system-built types, and many harled (roughcast) houses.
Parts of Greater Glasgow 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.
Where eaves are shallow on a house in Newton Mearns, grey EPS can sometimes avoid the cost of extending the roofline.

Scotland: planning and regulations
Scottish householder rules mean many Newton Mearns jobs that change the outside of a house need a planning application; we confirm the position before quoting.
Where a building warrant is needed for Newton Mearns work, it's obtained before installation starts, and the quote says who arranges it.
When is EPS the right choice?
EPS suits most two-storey houses, bungalows and park homes where the wall is sound and there are no fire-height restrictions. It is a good fit where eaves are shallow, because grey EPS can hit the target with less thickness. On buildings with a storey 11 metres or more above ground, or where the guidance asks for non-combustible materials, mineral wool is used instead.

EPS insulation in Newton Mearns: questions
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.
White or grey EPS?
Grey graphite EPS insulates better per millimetre, so it is the pick where space is tight at the eaves or around windows. White EPS is slightly cheaper and works well where the extra thickness isn't a problem.
