Before we quote in Telford
As well as Telford itself, we quote in Wellington, Shrewsbury and Wolverhampton. The West Midlands has large numbers of Victorian and Edwardian terraces, inter-war semis and post-war council estates, including concrete and steel-framed house types.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Shropshire: 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 Telford get a written specification and pricing they can share with owners.

England: planning and regulations
For a house in Telford, external insulation or render is often permitted development if it looks similar to the existing walls; conservation areas, flats, commercial buildings and listed buildings need permission or consent, so we check your address first.
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.
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 Telford: 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 flats need planning permission for EWI?
Yes. Permitted development rights for external alterations apply to houses, not flats or maisonettes, so an application is needed.
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.
Do you cover Telford?
Yes — we survey and quote EWI for flats and blocks in Telford (TF3) and nearby Wellington, Shrewsbury and Wolverhampton, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
