Brick slip EWI in Hanworth: questions
Do I need planning permission for external wall insulation in Hanworth?
On a house, external wall insulation is usually permitted development if the finish looks similar to the existing walls. Render or cladding on a house in a conservation area, National Park, National Landscape (AONB), the Broads or a World Heritage Site needs planning permission. Flats and maisonettes have no householder permitted development rights, listed buildings need listed building consent, and an Article 4 direction can remove rights locally.
How long will the work take in Hanworth?
Two to six weeks on site for most houses, depending on size: bungalows are quicker, detached houses longer, weather allowing. Render isn't applied in rain or frost.
Which EWI system suits homes in Hanworth?
It depends on the walls. Most brick houses in Hanworth suit EPS with silicone render; older stone or lime-built walls suit wood fibre or insulating lime render; and blocks need mineral wool. The free survey recommends one and explains why.
