External wall insulation in a social home

How do we deliver it?

Detailing is agreed before ordering, opening by opening. It is the difference between an EWI scheme that lasts thirty years and one that develops damp in three.

Which rules apply in Cheltenham?

On blocks of flats the fire performance of the whole external wall is a design matter, and the rules on combustible materials tighten with building height. PAS 9980 is the code for fire risk appraisal of external walls of existing blocks.
