Brick slip EWI in Chalfont St Peter: questions

Is building control approval needed for brick slip external wall insulation in Chalfont St Peter?

Insulating more than half of a wall, or more than a quarter of the whole building envelope, counts as renovating a thermal element under the Building Regulations, so the wall should reach 0.30 W/m²K where that is technically, functionally and economically feasible, and building control must be involved. We arrange it as part of the job.

Is VAT charged on brick slip external wall insulation in Chalfont St Peter?

Not on installing insulation in a home at the moment: that's zero-rated until 31 March 2027, after which the rate is due to be 5%. Work on commercial buildings is standard-rated.
