What is brick slip external wall insulation?

Flats and maisonettes have no householder permitted development rights, listed buildings need listed building consent, and an Article 4 direction can remove rights locally.

Brick slip EWI in Isleworth: questions
Is building control approval needed for brick slip external wall insulation in Isleworth?
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.
Do you cover Hounslow as well as Isleworth?
Yes. From Isleworth we also cover Hounslow, Heston and Richmond, and the rest of Greater London.
Which EWI system suits homes in Isleworth?
It depends on the walls. Most brick houses in Isleworth 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.
