Planning and building control in England
For a house in Chester-le-Street, external insulation or render is often permitted development if it looks similar to the existing walls; conservation areas, flats, commercial buildings and listed buildings need permission or consent, so we check your address first.
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.
Is the survey really free?
For installation quotes, yes, with no obligation. Detailed condition reports on existing render or EWI — for example for a purchase, a dispute or a warranty claim — are a separate paid service, priced up front.
