Homes and walls in Catford
Surveys in Catford also cover the surrounding SE6 district and towns such as Blackheath and Beckenham.
London's housing includes a large stock of Victorian and Edwardian solid-wall terraces, inter-war semis and post-war blocks, and conservation areas cover many streets — so planning is often the first question for external work.
Much of Greater London 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
Before quoting in Catford, 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.
Building control applies once more than half of a wall is insulated or re-rendered, or more than a quarter of the whole building envelope, and your written quote says how that's handled.

Do I need planning permission in Catford?
Planning in Catford 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.

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.
