What you get

- Most system-built homes have thin, cold walls and no fillable cavity
- Steel-framed BISF houses need care around the upper-storey cladding
Bordon: walls, weather and approvals
We also cover Farnham and Aldershot, close to Bordon. Bordon sits around 28 miles from Southampton. 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 Hampshire: 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 Bordon is system-built, the first job is confirming the construction type.

England: planning and regulations
For a house in Bordon, 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.
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 Bordon: questions
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.
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.
Do you cover Bordon?
Yes — we survey and quote non-traditional house insulation in Bordon (GU35) and nearby Farnham, Aldershot and Fleet, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
