Ashton-under-Lyne: walls, weather and approvals
We also cover Stalybridge and Droylsden, close to Ashton-under-Lyne. Ashton-under-Lyne is about 6 miles from Manchester. The North West has one of the largest stocks of pre-1919 solid-wall terraces in England, alongside Pennine stone houses and post-war estates.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Greater Manchester: 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.
For houses in Ashton-under-Lyne with shallow eaves, the insulated render thickness is planned with the roofline in mind.

Permissions in England
For a house in Ashton-under-Lyne, 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.
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.
Is insulated render the same as EWI?
Yes — insulated render is the everyday name for a rendered EWI system. Some people also use it for thin thermal renders containing aerogel or cork, which are applied 20–40mm thick on heritage walls. They insulate far less than board systems, so we treat them as a specialist option.

Through-coloured silicone and acrylic renders don't need painting. Mineral renders are usually painted with a compatible masonry paint.
