South Shields: walls, weather and approvals
We cover South Shields and nearby North Shields, Jarrow and Whitley Bay. It's roughly 7 miles from South Shields to Newcastle upon Tyne, the largest town in Tyne and Wear. The North East has many solid brick terraces, including former colliery housing, plus post-war council estates with some system-built homes.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Tyne and Wear: 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.
Where an EWI system in South Shields is still under guarantee, we'll suggest checking those terms before booking us.

Approvals in England
Small repairs and cleaning in South Shields normally need no approvals. Listed buildings are the exception — even minor external work can need consent.
How is damaged EWI repaired?
The damaged area is cut back to sound render and board. Wet or crushed insulation is replaced, a new base coat with overlapping mesh is applied, then primer and a matching finish. The repair overlaps the existing mesh so it's reinforced like the original.

EWI repairs in South Shields: questions
Will the repair be visible?
Usually slightly, because the existing finish has weathered. A recoat of the elevation evens it out.
Why is my EWI cracking?
Common causes are missing movement joints, poor mesh overlap, fixing problems or movement in the wall. We look for the cause rather than filling the crack.
My EWI was installed under a grant — who repairs it?
First check the guarantee paperwork and contact the original installer or guarantee provider. If that route isn't available, we can quote.
