What is brick slip external wall insulation?

Rules that apply in Leigh

Planning: On a house, external wall insulation is usually permitted development if the finish looks similar to the existing walls.

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%.

Brick slip EWI in Leigh: questions

Are there grants for external wall insulation in Leigh?

Low-income households in homes rated below EPC C can apply for Warm Homes: Local Grant where their council is taking part. The Great British Insulation Scheme closed on 31 March 2026, and ECO4 closes on 31 December 2026; its final months are for finishing and putting right existing work. Grant schemes use their own approved installers, so check a scheme's installer rules before booking; our quotes are for privately funded work unless we confirm otherwise in writing.

Do you cover Atherton as well as Leigh?

Yes. From Leigh we also cover Atherton, Tyldesley and Golborne, and the rest of Greater Manchester.

Which EWI system suits homes in Leigh?

It depends on the walls. Most brick houses in Leigh 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.
