Homes and walls in Portslade
Surveys in Portslade also cover the surrounding BN41 district and towns such as Hove and Brighton. Portslade sits around 3 miles from Brighton.
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.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across East Sussex: sheltered town streets fare better than walls on high ground or facing the prevailing weather, and the render, beads and cill details are chosen with that in mind.

Approvals in England
Planning in Portslade 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.
Insulating or re-rendering more than half of a wall's area brings in Part L of the Building Regulations, so building control is notified and the wall is upgraded to about 0.30 W/m²K where practical.

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 Portslade?
For a house in Portslade, external insulation or render is often permitted development if it looks similar to the existing walls; conservation areas, flats, commercial buildings and listed buildings need permission or consent, so we check your address first.
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.
