The Great British Insulation Scheme closed on 31 March 2026, and ECO4 closes on 31 December 2026; its final months are for finishing and putting right existing work. Grant schemes use their own approved installers, so check a scheme's installer rules before booking; our quotes are for privately funded work unless we confirm otherwise in writing.

Two to six weeks on site for most houses, depending on size: bungalows are quicker, detached houses longer, weather allowing. Render isn't applied in rain or frost.
Which EWI system suits homes in Stockport?
It depends on the walls. Most brick houses in Stockport 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.
