What we look for in Chelsea
We cover Chelsea and nearby Battersea, Fulham and Shepherds Bush. 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.
For Chelsea properties, the survey also confirms whether planning or building control is needed for your address.

Planning and building control in England
Before quoting in Chelsea, 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.
What do I get afterwards?
A written quote listing the system (board, thickness and finish), the detailing included, scaffolding, any repairs found, exclusions, the VAT treatment and the expected programme. Where planning or building control is needed, the quote says so and who handles it.

Survey and quote in Chelsea: questions
How long is the quote valid?
The quote states its validity period, usually 30 days, because material prices change.
Can you quote from photos?
We can give a guide figure from photos and measurements, but a fixed price needs a visit.
Do I need to be home?
Ideally yes, so we can check inside for damp and look at window reveals, but rear and side access is the main thing.
Do you cover Chelsea?
Yes — we survey and quote EWI and render surveys in Chelsea (SW3) and nearby Battersea, Fulham and Shepherds Bush, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
