Part of every quote

- Most system-built homes have thin, cold walls and no fillable cavity
- EWI is not a structural repair for PRC houses designated defective
Before we quote in Yate
Surveys in Yate also cover the surrounding BS37 district and towns such as Chipping Sodbury and Mangotsfield. Yate is about 24 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 Yate, we report any visible spalling or cracking before quoting the insulation, not after.

Approvals in England
For a house in Yate, 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.
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.
Does EWI fix mortgage problems with PRC houses?
Not on its own. Some precast reinforced concrete (PRC) house types were designated defective, and many lenders want a certified structural repair before they will lend. Insulation and render over the outside is not that repair. Other types, such as Wimpey no-fines, are generally treated differently. If mortgageability matters, speak to your lender or a surveyor before booking any work.

Non-traditional houses in Yate: questions
Can you insulate a Wimpey no-fines house?
Yes. No-fines houses have solid poured-concrete walls with no cavity, so EWI is the usual route. The survey checks the concrete condition first.
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.
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.
Do you cover Yate?
Yes — we survey and quote non-traditional house insulation in Yate (BS37) and nearby Chipping Sodbury, Mangotsfield and Kingswood, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
