Before we quote in Didcot
As well as Didcot itself, we quote in Abingdon, Oxford and Thatcham. It's roughly 10 miles from Didcot to Oxford, the largest town in Oxfordshire. 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.
Much of Oxfordshire 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.
We provide drawings and finish samples for planning applications on Didcot commercial buildings.

England: planning and regulations
Planning in Didcot 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.
How is the work programmed?
Work is split by elevation so entrances and fire exits stay usable. For schools, noisy and access-heavy stages are planned around holidays where possible. Health and safety duties under CDM 2015 are agreed at the start, including who acts as principal contractor.

Commercial EWI in Didcot: questions
Can the building stay open during the works?
Usually, yes. The work is phased and the scaffold layout keeps entrances and escape routes clear.
Is VAT 0% on commercial insulation?
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.
Do you handle the planning application?
We provide the technical information, drawings and samples an application needs; your agent or our designer can submit it.
Do you cover Didcot?
Yes — we survey and quote commercial external wall insulation in Didcot (OX11) and nearby Abingdon, Oxford and Thatcham, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
