Replacement is generally considered where an EWI system cannot be adequately repaired or where the existing construction does not meet current standards.
This can apply where a survey identifies:
Where these conditions are found across a substantial proportion of the façade, replacement is often the more practical and durable solution.
Our survey team can establish the existing wall construction and the extent of the defect, informing a clear remediation strategy for the areas requiring replacement.

The replacement system is specified to address thermal performance, fire safety, weathertightness and interface detailing, developed as a buildable solution for the existing building.
Existing insulation, render and associated fixings are carefully removed, with the substrate prepared and made good ahead of the new system.
The new EWI system, including insulation, mechanical fixings, cavity barriers, fire stopping and render finish, is then installed in accordance with the approved specification.
Our experience covers a range of EWI and rendered insulation build-ups, including mineral wool, EPS and phenolic insulation systems with mesh-reinforced render finishes.
We work with building owners, freeholders, managing agents, developers and housing providers who need to address defects identified in an EWI or rendered insulation system, whether through an FRAEW, fire risk assessment, condition survey or other report.
