Before we quote in Dorchester
We also cover Weymouth and Bridport, close to Dorchester. Dorchester sits around 24 miles from Bournemouth. The South West has many stone and solid-walled cottages, exposed coastal properties and a share of post-war system-built houses, including types such as the Cornish Unit.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Dorset: 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 park home owners around Dorchester, we start by checking the park's licence spacing and any rules on exterior colours.

Permissions in England
Park homes are governed by the site licence rather than householder planning rules, so the key check in Dorchester is the licence's spacing between homes and any rules on exterior finishes.
How is a park home insulated?
Park home walls are usually a timber or steel frame with an outer cladding. The wall is cleaned and prepared, a base track is fixed, then insulation boards — often 30–70mm EPS — are fixed with fixings suited to the frame. A reinforced base coat and a thin-coat render finish follow, with trims around windows and doors.

Park home insulation in Dorchester: questions
Is VAT charged on park home insulation?
Installing insulation in a residential home is currently zero-rated until 31 March 2027. Your quote shows the VAT treatment for each line.
Will insulation affect the gap to my neighbour?
It reduces it by the board and render thickness. The site licence sets minimum spacing, so we measure and check before specifying the thickness.
Can you insulate under the floor too?
Our focus is the walls and finish. Underfloor and roof options are worth asking about separately; we'll tell you if we can't help.
Do you cover Dorchester?
