The survey tells which side of that line a property sits on before any product is named.
Walsall's housing and what it means for insulation
Walsall's housing runs from Victorian terraces in Caldmore and Palfrey through inter-war semis in Streetly, Aldridge and Pelsall to post-war council stock in Beechdale and Blakenall. Streetly and Aldridge in particular have large detached and semi-detached inter-war homes where loft conversions are common.

1930s Walsall semis: the headroom problem
Streetly and Aldridge conversions are often already done and being upgraded; the question there is what the previous converter left behind between the plasterboard and the tiles.
Inter-war semi-detached houses here have hipped roofs on purlins whose rafter depth must be measured rather than assumed, and a loft conversion loses headroom quickly if deep board is used. The usual investigation is multifoil under the rafters, with 50mm PIR between them where a target U-value must be met, keeping the finished ceiling as high as possible. The hips, the purlins and the position of the water tank are what the survey measures first.
Coverage around Walsall
Assessment and installation are allocated by postcode and project type across Walsall and these surrounding areas:
We also cover Coventry, Dudley, Wolverhampton and the rest of the West Midlands.
How it works, briefly
Postcode → property questions → assessment where a physical inspection is needed → recommendation → fixed quote → installation. Every step runs to the InsulationMatch installation standard; the installing company is named on the quote. Multifoil itself is explained in the multifoil guide, and what moves a price in the cost guide. Local ranges are published here only once genuine Walsall quotes exist.
Local projects
Documented Walsall projects are added to the project library as they complete. Until then the library's typical project scenarios show how the housing above is assessed.
