What you get
- Finished in mineral or silicone render, or brick slip
- Vapour-open, so moisture in solid walls can dry outwards
- Heavier than EPS, so more fixings and careful handling
- Non-combustible board (typically Euroclass A1 or A2-s1,d0 as part of the system)
Homes and walls in Littlehampton
As well as Littlehampton itself, we quote in Bognor Regis, Worthing and Chichester. Littlehampton sits around 26 miles from Crawley. 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 West Sussex: 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 Littlehampton near busy roads, mineral wool's sound reduction can be a reason to choose it.

Approvals in England
Before quoting in Littlehampton, we check whether the property is in a conservation area, under an Article 4 direction or listed, because that decides whether changing the outside needs planning permission.
If the work covers more than half of a wall, or a quarter of the building's whole envelope, it counts as renovating a thermal element, with a target of about 0.30 W/m²K where feasible.
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.
Is mineral wool required on my building?
For most two-storey houses it's a choice rather than a requirement. In England, regulation 7(2) bans combustible materials in the external walls of 'relevant buildings' 18 metres and over, and the Approved Document B guidance also covers residential buildings with a storey at 11 metres or more. Wales has its own amended rules, and Scotland restricts combustible cladding on buildings with a storey more than 11 metres above ground. We specify mineral wool wherever these apply and confirm the system's fire classification in writing.

Mineral wool EWI in Littlehampton: questions
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.
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.
