The houses were a mix of traditional and non-traditional construction all of which were re-roofed during the works. The non-traditional properties were of no fines construction and were prepared for an external wall insulation system incorporating insulation board, mesh cloth reinforced basecoat and polymer top coat with dry dash finish. The traditional construction type properties had cavity fill works carried out prior to existing walls being prepared to allow re-roughcast works using polymer dashing render. An interface system was used comprising breather membrane/galvanised wire lath, base coat and finished with a dashing render complete with dry dash aggregate.
