What we look for in Fleet
We also cover Farnborough and Aldershot, close to Fleet. It's roughly 36 miles from Fleet to Southampton, the largest town in Hampshire. 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.
For homes in Fleet near busy roads, mineral wool's sound reduction can be a reason to choose it.

England: planning and regulations
Planning in Fleet follows England's national rules: similar-looking finishes on houses are usually permitted, while flats, commercial premises, conservation areas and streets under an Article 4 direction need an application.
Building control applies once more than half of a wall is insulated or re-rendered, or more than a quarter of the whole building envelope, and your written quote says how that's handled.
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.
Why choose mineral wool over EPS?
Two reasons come up most: fire and moisture. Mineral wool doesn't burn, which is why guidance for taller residential buildings points to non-combustible external wall materials. It is also vapour-open, so a solid wall that holds some moisture can keep drying outwards through the insulation and render.
The trade-offs are weight and cost. Slabs are denser, need more fixings and take longer to install, so the price per m² is higher than EPS.

Mineral wool EWI in Fleet: questions
Is mineral wool better than EPS?
Not always better — different. Mineral wool wins on fire performance, breathability and acoustics; EPS wins on cost, weight and thinner boards for the same U-value. The wall, the building height and your priorities decide it.
Can mineral wool EWI have a brick finish?
Yes. Brick slips can be bonded over mineral wool systems designed for them, with additional fixings for the extra weight.
Is mineral wool needed for a bungalow?
Rarely for fire reasons. It may still be chosen on a damp-prone solid wall where a vapour-open build-up is wanted.
Do you cover Fleet?
Yes — we survey and quote mineral wool external wall insulation in Fleet (GU51) and nearby Farnborough, Aldershot and Yateley, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
