External wall insulation in a social home

How do we deliver it?

Residents are told when their wall will be worked on and what will be moved. Satellite dishes, meters and pipes are relocated and restored as part of the scope.

Which rules apply in Powys?

On blocks of flats the fire performance of the whole external wall build-up is designed and checked before work starts, and the rules tighten with building height. We install to the design and do not substitute materials.
