Site Name: Armour & Boleyn
Type of work: Residential New Build
Client: Mansell
Approximate Value: £150,000
Works involved: Externall Wall Insulation (Alsecco System)


Lawtech Ltd were appointed by Mansell in March 2009 to carry out the external wall insulation to two new blocks being constructed by Homes For Islington. The project was one of the largest new build schemes by a local authority in London for many years, and was to deliver a low carbon emitting energy efficient living space.

The system used by Lawtech was the Alsecco system following our successful project with the same client a few months earlier (Tollington Estate – details on this web site). The insulation thickness was 190mm – 240mm so that a very high thermal performance could be achieved. The finish was a white silicone render to all areas. The render system was installed before the windows, after a specific request by the window manufacturers so that they could maintain their warranty. This was designed in and accommodated by Lawtech. In addition to the basic system, high impact mesh was installed to all ground floor areas

Lawtech is one of the largest installers of external wall insulation systems across the UK with offices in Rochester and Glasgow. Lawtech is UKAS accredited to ISO 9001 & ISO 14001 and is an active member of both the NIA & INCA.
