What the job covers
- Most system-built homes have thin, cold walls and no fillable cavity
- Fixing design depends on the panel or frame behind the wall
- EWI improves comfort and can renew a tired concrete exterior
- EWI is not a structural repair for PRC houses designated defective
What we look for in Ludlow
As well as Ludlow itself, we quote in Leominster, Stourport-on-Severn and Kidderminster. It's roughly 24 miles from Ludlow to Telford, the largest town in Shropshire. The West Midlands has large numbers of Victorian and Edwardian terraces, inter-war semis and post-war council estates, including concrete and steel-framed house types.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Shropshire: 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 one half of a pair in Ludlow is insulated and the other isn't, we detail the boundary so the neighbour can join later.

Permissions in England
Planning in Ludlow follows England's national rules: similar-looking finishes on houses are usually permitted, while flats, commercial premises, conservation areas and streets under an Article 4 direction need an application.
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 Ludlow: questions
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.
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 Ludlow?
Yes — we survey and quote non-traditional house insulation in Ludlow (SY8) and nearby Leominster, Stourport-on-Severn and Kidderminster, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
