Local considerations in Swindon
Surveys in Swindon also cover the surrounding SN1 district and towns such as Chippenham and Witney. The South West has many stone and solid-walled cottages, exposed coastal properties and a share of post-war system-built houses, including types such as the Cornish Unit.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Wiltshire: 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.
We compare EPS against mineral wool for each Swindon enquiry rather than assuming one board suits every wall.

Planning and building control in England
Before quoting in Swindon, 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.
If the work covers more than half of a wall, or a quarter of the building's whole envelope, it counts as renovating a thermal element, with a target of about 0.30 W/m²K where feasible.
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 Swindon: 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.
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.
