Local considerations in Eastleigh
Surveys in Eastleigh also cover the surrounding SO50 district and towns such as Southampton and Winchester. Eastleigh is about 5 miles from Southampton. 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.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Hampshire: 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.
Freeholders and managing agents in Eastleigh get a written specification and pricing they can share with owners.

Approvals in England
Before quoting in Eastleigh, 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.
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.
What fire-safety rules apply?
For blocks with a storey 11 metres or more above ground, guidance points to external wall materials of limited combustibility, and combustible materials are banned in the external walls of relevant buildings 18 metres and over in England. Higher-risk buildings (18 metres or seven storeys and above, with at least two homes) go through the Building Safety Regulator. We specify non-combustible systems wherever these apply and tell you at enquiry stage if a building is outside our scope.

Flats and blocks in Eastleigh: questions
Can one flat have external wall insulation on its own?
Rarely. The outside walls are usually owned by the freeholder, the result would look patchy, and planning is unlikely. Whole-building schemes are the norm.
Do you work on high-rise buildings?
Tell us the height and number of storeys. Buildings in the higher-risk category have a separate regulatory route, and we'll say plainly if we're not the right contractor.
Who pays for EWI on a leasehold block?
In England and Wales, usually the leaseholders through the service charge, depending on the lease, and the landlord must follow the Section 20 consultation process for major works.
Do you cover Eastleigh?
Yes — we survey and quote EWI for flats and blocks in Eastleigh (SO50) and nearby Southampton, Winchester and Totton, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
