Homes and walls in Esher
We cover Esher and nearby Walton-on-Thames, Sunbury-on-Thames and Surbiton. Esher sits around 9 miles from Woking. 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 Surrey 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.
On mixed-tenure blocks in Esher, we agree access and resident notices with the managing agent before scaffold goes up.

Planning and building control in England
Before quoting in Esher, 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.
Building control applies once more than half of a wall is insulated or re-rendered, or more than a quarter of the whole building envelope, and your written quote says how that's handled.
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 Esher: questions
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.
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.
Do you cover Esher?
Yes — we survey and quote EWI for flats and blocks in Esher (KT10) and nearby Walton-on-Thames, Sunbury-on-Thames and Surbiton, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
