Kendal: walls, weather and approvals
We cover Kendal and nearby Morecambe, Lancaster and Penrith. It's roughly 40 miles from Kendal to Carlisle, the largest town in Cumbria. The North West has one of the largest stocks of pre-1919 solid-wall terraces in England, alongside Pennine stone houses and post-war estates.
Parts of Cumbria 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.
Schools and community buildings around Kendal are usually phased by elevation, with noisy stages in holidays where possible.

England: planning and regulations
For a house in Kendal, 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.
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.
On residential buildings with a storey 11 metres or more above ground, guidance points to non-combustible external wall materials, and combustible materials are banned in relevant buildings 18 metres and over, so we specify mineral wool systems there.
Does commercial EWI need planning permission?
Generally yes — permitted development rights for external wall changes are written for houses. Applications need elevations showing the projection, finish and colours, and details at eaves and openings.
