Postcode, service and a phone number is all we need.
What the job covers
- The survey identifies the construction type before anything is specified
- Steel-framed BISF houses need care around the upper-storey cladding
- Fixing design depends on the panel or frame behind the wall
- Most system-built homes have thin, cold walls and no fillable cavity
Maesteg: walls, weather and approvals
We also cover Port Talbot and Briton Ferry, close to Maesteg. It's roughly 10 miles from Maesteg to Rhondda, the largest town in Mid Glamorgan. South Wales has long runs of solid-wall valley terraces, Victorian and Edwardian town housing and post-war council estates.
Parts of Mid Glamorgan fall in the higher wind-driven rain exposure bands, especially coastal and upland sites, so render specification, movement joints and detailing at cills, verges and the base of the wall matter more than usual.
Where one half of a pair in Maesteg is insulated and the other isn't, we detail the boundary so the neighbour can join later.

Planning and building control in Wales
Householder rules in Wales are similar to England's: in Maesteg, a similar-looking finish on a house is often permitted, but conservation areas, flats and listed buildings need permission or consent.
Welsh Building Regulations expect walls to be upgraded when a substantial area is renewed, and building control signs the work off.
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 Maesteg: 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 Maesteg?
Yes — we survey and quote non-traditional house insulation in Maesteg (CF34) and nearby Port Talbot, Briton Ferry and Neath, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
