The rules in Northern Ireland
- Planning
- Planning in Northern Ireland is handled by the 11 councils. Changes that alter a house's appearance, work on flats, listed buildings and conservation areas should be checked with the council planning office before work is booked.
- Building regulations
- EWI is controlled under the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012, with energy standards in Technical Booklet F and fire in Technical Booklet E, so you need building control approval from your council.
- Fire safety
- Technical Booklet E sets the fire performance of external walls by building height and boundary distance; non-combustible insulation is used on taller buildings and in the positions the guidance requires.
- Funding
- The Affordable Warmth Scheme, delivered through councils for the Housing Executive, helps owner-occupiers and private tenants with household income under £23,000, with grants up to £10,000 where solid wall insulation is needed. Approval must be in writing before work starts, and the council arranges the work through its own process. Our quotes are for privately funded work unless we confirm otherwise in writing.

- VAT
- Installing insulation in a home is zero-rated for VAT until 31 March 2027, then 5%.

How long does external wall insulation take?
It depends on the size of the house and the weather: bungalows usually take one to two weeks on site, terraces two to three, semis three to four and detached houses four to six. Blocks of flats take longer.
Can I stay at home during the work?
