External wall insulation in Nottingham: questions
How much should I budget for external wall insulation in Nottingham?
Budget around £109–£175 per square metre of wall for the system and finish, plus scaffolding priced per house. The survey measures your walls in Nottingham and fixes the total in writing.
Do you cover West Bridgford as well as Nottingham?
Yes. From Nottingham we also cover West Bridgford, Arnold and Hucknall, and the rest of Nottinghamshire.

It depends on the walls. Most brick houses in Nottingham suit EPS with silicone render; older stone or lime-built walls suit wood fibre or insulating lime render; and blocks need mineral wool. The free survey recommends one and explains why.
