Homes and walls in Earley
We cover Earley and nearby Reading, Wokingham and Crowthorne. Earley is about 3 miles from Reading.
Homes across the South East range from inter-war semis and post-war estates, which are mostly cavity-walled, to older solid-walled cottages and Victorian town terraces.
Much of Berkshire sits in the lower wind-driven rain exposure bands, which keeps the choice of finishes wide — though hilltop, coastal and exposed gable walls can still need a tougher specification, so we check the actual site.

Approvals in England
Planning in Earley follows England's national rules: similar-looking finishes on houses are usually permitted, while flats, commercial premises, conservation areas and streets under an Article 4 direction need an application.
If the work covers more than half of a wall, or a quarter of the building's whole envelope, it counts as renovating a thermal element, with a target of about 0.30 W/m²K where feasible.

Earley: questions
Do you cover Earley?
Yes — we survey and quote in Earley (RG6) and nearby Reading, Wokingham and Crowthorne.
How much does external wall insulation cost in Earley?
Our guide is £105–£170 per m² depending on the system, plus scaffolding — roughly £10,200–£17,700 for a typical three-bed semi with EPS and silicone render. Installing insulation in a home is zero-rated for VAT until 31 March 2027, so that's the total. A free survey fixes the price.
Do I need planning permission in Earley?
Before quoting in Earley, we check whether the property is in a conservation area, under an Article 4 direction or listed, because that decides whether changing the outside needs planning permission.
Is VAT charged on wall insulation?
Installing wall insulation in homes is zero-rated until 31 March 2027, then 5%, so our insulation prices are totals. Render-only work and repairs carry VAT at 20%, and our prices for them include it.
