What we look for in Aberystwyth
Surveys in Aberystwyth also cover the surrounding SY23 district and towns such as Llandrindod Wells and Newtown. It's roughly 51 miles from Aberystwyth to Llanelli, the largest town in Dyfed. West Wales has a high share of older solid-walled and stone homes, many in exposed coastal or rural settings.
Parts of Dyfed 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.
Freeholders and managing agents in Aberystwyth get a written specification and pricing they can share with owners.

Approvals in Wales
We check Aberystwyth addresses for conservation areas and listing before quoting, because Welsh permitted development rules don't cover every external change.
Building control in Wales applies to most insulation and re-rendering jobs of this size; the quote states who submits the notice.
Wales applies its own external wall fire rules, updated in 2025; on taller residential buildings we specify non-combustible mineral wool systems.
Who needs to agree to EWI on a block?
The freeholder or management company commissions the work, but leaseholders usually pay through the service charge. In England and Wales, major works above the statutory threshold trigger the Section 20 consultation process before a contract is placed. We provide the specification and pricing you need for that consultation.

Flats and blocks in Aberystwyth: questions
Do flats need planning permission for EWI?
Yes. Permitted development rights for external alterations apply to houses, not flats or maisonettes, so an application is needed.
Who pays for EWI on a leasehold block?
In England and Wales, usually the leaseholders through the service charge, depending on the lease, and the landlord must follow the Section 20 consultation process for major works.
Can one flat have external wall insulation on its own?
Rarely. The outside walls are usually owned by the freeholder, the result would look patchy, and planning is unlikely. Whole-building schemes are the norm.
Do you cover Aberystwyth?
Yes — we survey and quote EWI for flats and blocks in Aberystwyth (SY23) and nearby Llandrindod Wells, Newtown and Carmarthen, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
