Bonded polystyrene bead insulation for Renfrew properties
Renfrew sits in Renfrewshire and Inverclyde, around 3 miles north-east of Paisley. We work across the PA4 district, including nearby Paisley, Newton Mearns and Greenock.
If a wall in Renfrew is not suitable, for example because of an undiagnosed damp patch or a very exposed gable, you are told so in writing with the reason. Renfrew properties with rendered or painted walls get a closer look at the outer finish, because cracked render can let rain behind it.
Local weather affects which walls can be filled. Parts of Renfrewshire and Inverclyde face some of the heaviest wind-driven rain in the UK, especially exposed coastal and upland sites. Here the survey is stricter: some walls suit only certain certified systems, and some should not be filled at all.
On compliance, in Renfrew no building warrant is needed for insulation within a wall, but the work must meet the building standards.

What to know before you choose beads
Polystyrene is combustible, so beads are not the right choice for every building; height, use and nearby openings matter, and the system certificate sets the limits. PVC-sheathed cables in the cavity should be sleeved or kept out of contact with the beads where the certificate requires it. We check both at survey.
What is included in Renfrew
- Cable and opening checks at survey
