What we look for in Shrewsbury
As well as Shrewsbury itself, we quote in Wellington, Telford and Oswestry. It's roughly 13 miles from Shrewsbury 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 Shrewsbury is insulated and the other isn't, we detail the boundary so the neighbour can join later.

Planning and building control in England
For a house in Shrewsbury, 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.
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 Shrewsbury: 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 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.
Do you cover Shrewsbury?
Yes — we survey and quote non-traditional house insulation in Shrewsbury (SY1) and nearby Wellington, Telford and Oswestry, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
