Greenford: walls, weather and approvals
We cover Greenford and nearby Northolt, Southall and Wembley. 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.
Schools and community buildings around Greenford are usually phased by elevation, with noisy stages in holidays where possible.

Permissions in England
Planning in Greenford 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.
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.

Usually not. The zero rate covers insulation installed in residential accommodation and, since 1 February 2024, buildings used solely for a relevant charitable purpose, such as many charity-run village halls. Other commercial work is standard-rated.
