Non-traditional and concrete house insulation in Gloucester
Non-traditional and concrete house insulation in Gloucester: free survey, written specification and a fixed price, with the details that keep walls dry planned from the start. Where one half of a pair in Gloucester is insulated and the other isn't, we detail the boundary so the neighbour can join later.

Postcode, service and a phone number is all we need.
What the job covers
- Most system-built homes have thin, cold walls and no fillable cavity
- Steel-framed BISF houses need care around the upper-storey cladding
- The survey identifies the construction type before anything is specified
- EWI is not a structural repair for PRC houses designated defective
Before we quote in Gloucester
As well as Gloucester itself, we quote in Cheltenham, Stroud and Ross-on-Wye. The South West has many stone and solid-walled cottages, exposed coastal properties and a share of post-war system-built houses, including types such as the Cornish Unit.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Gloucestershire: 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 home in Gloucester is system-built, the first job is confirming the construction type.

Permissions in England
For a house in Gloucester, 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.
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.
What does the work involve?
After checking the wall condition, any spalling concrete or corroded steel is reported before boards go on. Fixings are chosen for the substrate — concrete, steel-framed panels or mixed constructions — and the system is detailed around eaves, cills and the junction with neighbouring properties, which may not be insulated.

Non-traditional houses in Gloucester: questions
What if my neighbour isn't insulating?
We finish the system neatly at the boundary with a closing detail so the neighbouring house isn't affected and can be joined later.
Will EWI make my house mortgageable?
It can make a house more attractive and better insulated, but it does not replace a certified structural repair where a lender requires one. Ask your lender before relying on it.
Can you put EWI on a BISF house?
Yes, with care. The steel frame and upper-storey cladding need a system and fixing method designed for that construction, and the condition of the frame should be understood first.
Do you cover Gloucester?
Yes — we survey and quote non-traditional house insulation in Gloucester (GL1) and nearby Cheltenham, Stroud and Ross-on-Wye, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
