Before we quote in Stafford
As well as Stafford itself, we quote in Rugeley, Cannock and Burntwood. It's roughly 14 miles from Stafford to Stoke-on-Trent, the largest town in Staffordshire. 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 Staffordshire: 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 Stafford, we report any visible spalling or cracking before quoting the insulation, not after.

Planning and building control in England
Planning in Stafford 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.
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.
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 Stafford: 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.
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 Stafford?
