Before we quote in Bordon
Surveys in Bordon also cover the surrounding GU35 district and towns such as Farnham and Aldershot. Bordon sits around 28 miles from Southampton. Homes across the South East range from inter-war semis and post-war estates, which are mostly cavity-walled, to older solid-walled cottages and Victorian town terraces.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Hampshire: 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.
On solid-walled houses in Bordon, the gable or the most weather-exposed wall is often the place to start.

Permissions in England
Before quoting in Bordon, 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.
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.
External or internal — which is better?
External insulation keeps the wall warm, reduces cold bridging at floors and party walls, renews the outside, and doesn't shrink rooms — but it changes the look and needs scaffolding. Internal insulation keeps the façade unchanged and can be done room by room, but loses 50–100mm of floor space per wall and needs careful detailing to avoid condensation at joists and corners.

Solid wall insulation in Bordon: questions
Can I get a grant for solid wall insulation?
Some schemes cover it for eligible households — for example ECO4 until 31 December 2026, Home Energy Scotland's grant and loan, Wales' Warm Homes Nest and NI's Affordable Warmth Scheme. Each has its own eligibility and installer rules; see our grants guide.
Can I do one wall at a time?
Yes. Many owners start with the coldest or most exposed elevation, often a gable end.
Does solid wall insulation cause condensation?
It can if detailed poorly, particularly internally. A condensation risk check for the proposed build-up and careful detailing at joists, reveals and corners avoid it.

Yes — we survey and quote solid wall insulation in Bordon (GU35) and nearby Farnham, Aldershot and Fleet, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
