Local considerations in Woking
We cover Woking and nearby Guildford, Egham and Walton-on-Thames. 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.
Much of Surrey sits in the lower wind-driven rain exposure bands, which keeps the choice of finishes wide — though hilltop, coastal and exposed gable walls can still need a tougher specification, so we check the actual site.
We compare EPS against mineral wool for each Woking enquiry rather than assuming one board suits every wall.

England: planning and regulations
Before quoting in Woking, 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.
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.
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 Woking: questions
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.
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.
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.
