Failsworth: walls, weather and approvals
We also cover Droylsden and Ashton-under-Lyne, close to Failsworth. Failsworth is about 3 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.
Where a property in Failsworth is in a conservation area or the front elevation must stay unchanged, internal insulation is often the practical route.

Planning and building control in England
Internal insulation rarely needs planning permission, but in England and Wales insulating or replastering more than half of a wall's area involves building control, and listed buildings need consent for internal changes that affect their character.
What are the options for internal insulation?
- Insulated plasterboard — PIR or phenolic foam bonded to plasterboard, fixed to the wall and skimmed. Thinnest option.
- Insulated stud wall — a timber or metal frame filled with insulation, with a vapour control layer and plasterboard. Takes more space but runs services easily.
- Wood fibre and lime — breathable boards finished in lime plaster, for older walls that need to manage moisture.
