What is brick slip external wall insulation?

Brick slip EWI in Urmston: questions

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

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 VAT charged on brick slip external wall insulation in Urmston?

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.
