What is brick slip external wall insulation?

Brick slip EWI in Surbiton: questions

How much should I budget for brick slip external wall insulation in Surbiton?

Budget around £185–£265 per square metre of wall for the system and finish, plus scaffolding priced per house. The survey measures your walls in Surbiton and fixes the total in writing.

Do I need planning permission for external wall insulation in Surbiton?

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.

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

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.
