Non-traditional and concrete house insulation in Felling
From Felling to Gateshead, we price non-traditional house insulation after a measured survey — no guesswork, and no work starts until the price is agreed in writing. Where a home in Felling is system-built, the first job is confirming the construction type.

What we look for in Felling
We cover Felling and nearby Gateshead, Newcastle upon Tyne and Wallsend. Felling is about 2 miles from Newcastle upon Tyne. The North East has many solid brick terraces, including former colliery housing, plus post-war council estates with some system-built homes.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Tyne and Wear: 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 Felling, we report any visible spalling or cracking before quoting the insulation, not after.

England: planning and regulations
Before quoting in Felling, we check whether the property is in a conservation area, under an Article 4 direction or listed, because that decides whether changing the outside needs planning permission.
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.
Does EWI fix mortgage problems with PRC houses?
Not on its own. Some precast reinforced concrete (PRC) house types were designated defective, and many lenders want a certified structural repair before they will lend. Insulation and render over the outside is not that repair. Other types, such as Wimpey no-fines, are generally treated differently. If mortgageability matters, speak to your lender or a surveyor before booking any work.

Non-traditional houses in Felling: 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.
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 Felling?
Yes — we survey and quote non-traditional house insulation in Felling (NE10) and nearby Gateshead, Newcastle upon Tyne and Wallsend, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
