Brick slip external wall insulation in Hinckley

What is brick slip external wall insulation?
Brick slip external wall insulation is an EWI system finished with 10–20mm thick clay brick slips, bonded with adhesive onto a reinforced basecoat over the insulation and then pointed. Corner slips return around external corners so the finish reads as solid brickwork.

Rules that apply in Hinckley
- Planning
- 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.
- VAT
- Installing insulation in a home is zero-rated for VAT until 31 March 2027, then 5%.

Brick slip EWI in Hinckley: questions
Are there grants for external wall insulation in Hinckley?
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 Nuneaton as well as Hinckley?
Yes. From Hinckley we also cover Nuneaton, Bedworth and Coventry, and the rest of Leicestershire.
Which EWI system suits homes in Hinckley?
It depends on the walls. Most brick houses in Hinckley 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.
