What we look for in Newtown
Surveys in Newtown also cover the surrounding SY16 district and towns such as Welshpool and Llandrindod Wells. 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.
We provide drawings and finish samples for planning applications on Newtown commercial buildings.

Permissions in Wales
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.
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.
Wales applies its own external wall fire rules, updated in 2025; on taller residential buildings we specify non-combustible mineral wool systems.
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.

Commercial EWI in Newtown: 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 Newtown?
Yes — we survey and quote commercial external wall insulation in Newtown (SY16) and nearby Welshpool, Llandrindod Wells and Aberystwyth, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
