What is brick slip external wall insulation?

Brick slip external wall insulation is an EWI system finished with 10–20mm thick clay brick slips, bonded with adhesive onto a reinforced basecoat over the insulation and then pointed. Corner slips return around external corners so the finish reads as solid brickwork.

Flats and maisonettes have no householder permitted development rights, listed buildings need listed building consent, and an Article 4 direction can remove rights locally.
VAT: Installing insulation in a home is zero-rated for VAT until 31 March 2027, then 5%.

Checked October 2026. Rules change, so we confirm them for your address at survey.

Brick slip EWI in Loughton: questions

Is building control approval needed for brick slip external wall insulation in Loughton?

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 Loughton?

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.
