Postcode, service and a phone number is all we need.
What the job covers
- EWI improves comfort and can renew a tired concrete exterior
- The survey identifies the construction type before anything is specified
- EWI is not a structural repair for PRC houses designated defective
- Most system-built homes have thin, cold walls and no fillable cavity
Stroud: walls, weather and approvals
As well as Stroud itself, we quote in Gloucester, Cheltenham and Chipping Sodbury. Stroud is about 8 miles from Gloucester. 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.
For concrete houses in Stroud, we report any visible spalling or cracking before quoting the insulation, not after.

Planning and building control in England
Before quoting in Stroud, 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.
How do I know if my house is non-traditional?
Clues include concrete panels or posts visible at corners, a smooth concrete or rendered finish on houses of a 1940s–1960s estate, steel sheeting on the upper storey, or a mortgage valuation that mentioned the construction type. Common types include Wimpey no-fines (poured concrete), Airey and Cornish Unit (precast reinforced concrete), Reema, Orlit and BISF (steel frame). We identify the type during the survey.

Non-traditional houses in Stroud: 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.
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.
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.
Do you cover Stroud?
Yes — we survey and quote non-traditional house insulation in Stroud (GL5) and nearby Gloucester, Cheltenham and Chipping Sodbury, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
