Homes and walls in Newtown
We cover Newtown and nearby Welshpool, Llandrindod Wells and Aberystwyth.
Mid Wales is largely rural, with stone farmhouses, cottages and market-town terraces, many of them solid-walled.
Parts of Powys fall in the higher wind-driven rain exposure bands, especially coastal and upland sites, so render specification, movement joints and detailing at cills, verges and the base of the wall matter more than usual.

Approvals in Wales
Householder rules in Wales are similar to England's: in Newtown, a similar-looking finish on a house is often permitted, but conservation areas, flats and listed buildings need permission or consent.
In Wales, insulating or re-rendering more than half of a wall's area is treated as renovating a thermal element under Approved Document L (Wales), so building control is involved before work starts.

Newtown: questions
Do you cover Newtown?
Yes — we survey and quote in Newtown (SY16) and nearby Welshpool, Llandrindod Wells and Aberystwyth.
How much does external wall insulation cost in Newtown?
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 Newtown?
For homes in Newtown, the local planning authority decides any borderline cases; changing a brick house to render, or work on flats, usually needs an application in Wales.
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.
