What we look for in Wellington
Surveys in Wellington also cover the surrounding TF1 district and towns such as Telford and Shrewsbury. Wellington sits around 3 miles from Telford. 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.
Older solid-walled homes in Wellington can suit a vapour-open mineral wool build-up better than foam; the survey checks the wall first.

England: planning and regulations
Planning in Wellington 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.
What about noise?
Dense mineral wool adds mass and absorbs sound, so homes beside main roads or railways often notice a quieter interior, particularly where windows are also upgraded. The improvement depends on the whole wall and windows, so we don't quote decibel figures without testing.

Mineral wool EWI in Wellington: questions
Does mineral wool get wet?
It is water-repellent and protected by the render system. Like any insulation it must not be left exposed to rain during installation, so boards are covered and work stops in wet weather.
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.
Do you cover Wellington?
Yes — we survey and quote mineral wool external wall insulation in Wellington (TF1) and nearby Telford, Shrewsbury and Stafford, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
