St Mary's Hospital - Isles of Scilly
Richard Brown Plastering Contractors delivered expert PermaRock Mineral Fibre EWI and rendering for the St Mary’s Hospital extension in the Isles of Scilly. The project provided modern, energy-efficient facilities to meet the island’s healthcare needs. As approved EWI and rendering specialists, the team ensured a high-quality, durable finish throughout.
Here’s the full details of the case study and how we were involved in this restoration project.
About the Project
St Mary’s Community Hospital serves the 2,300 residents of the Isles of Scilly, and the extension was designed to provide additional patient rooms, clinical spaces, and care facilities to meet the island’s growing healthcare needs. The project focused on creating a modern, energy-efficient building that could withstand the challenging coastal environment.
Richard Brown Plastering Contractors were brought in as approved EWI and rendering specialists to install high-quality PermaRock Mineral Fibre insulation and render systems, ensuring long-lasting protection, improved thermal performance, and a clean, durable finish. Their expertise helped deliver a project that combined functionality, comfort, and resilience for this vital community facility.
Using PermaRock EWI Systems
As approved PermaRock applicators, Richard Brown Plastering Contractors installed the PermaRock Mineral Fibre External Wall Insulation (EWI) System on this project. The mineral fibre system delivers excellent thermal insulation, fire performance and weather resistance, creating a safe and energy-efficient exterior. Its non-combustible and highly breathable design makes it ideal for coastal environments, where durability and moisture control are essential.
This PermaRock system provides long-term protection and a clean, durable rendered finish that enhances the building’s appearance and performance. As experienced EWI contractors, Richard Brown Plastering Contractors ensure every installation meets the highest standards, combining skilled workmanship with systems designed for modern energy efficiency and sustainability.
Working in the Isles of Scilly
Richard Brown Plastering Contractors thoroughly enjoyed working in the Isles of Scilly, where the local community is welcoming and supportive of visiting tradespeople. The island quickly feels like a home away from home, making every project a pleasure to be part of.
Opportunities for render and EWI installations are rare, with very few specialists available and long waiting lists. As experienced EWI contractors in the Isles of Scilly and trusted external wall insulation specialists across the South West, the team was able to bring essential expertise, delivering high-quality, energy-efficient solutions for local buildings while enjoying the unique island environment.
