Battersea: walls, weather and approvals
We cover Battersea and nearby Chelsea, Fulham and Brixton. 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.
Freeholders and managing agents in Battersea get a written specification and pricing they can share with owners.

Approvals in England
Before quoting in Battersea, we check whether the property is in a conservation area, under an Article 4 direction or listed, because that decides whether changing the outside needs planning permission.
If the work covers more than half of a wall, or a quarter of the building's whole envelope, it counts as renovating a thermal element, with a target of about 0.30 W/m²K where feasible.
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.
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 Battersea: 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.
Do you work on high-rise buildings?
Tell us the height and number of storeys. Buildings in the higher-risk category have a separate regulatory route, and we'll say plainly if we're not the right contractor.
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 Battersea?
Yes — we survey and quote EWI for flats and blocks in Battersea (SW11) and nearby Chelsea, Fulham and Brixton, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
