Homes and walls in Melton Mowbray
We cover Melton Mowbray and nearby Oakham, Loughborough and Leicester. Melton Mowbray is about 14 miles from Leicester. Housing in the East Midlands includes Victorian terraces in the towns and cities, plenty of inter-war semis and post-war council estates, some of them system-built.
Much of Leicestershire 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.
Whole-house jobs and single elevations are both quoted in Melton Mowbray; a cold gable or rear wall can be done on its own where it suits.

Planning and building control in England
For a house in Melton Mowbray, 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.
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 does the survey check before EWI is specified?
- Wall construction and condition, including any damp, cracking or loose render
- Ground levels and the damp-proof course, so the system starts above splash height
- Eaves depth, verges and whether the roofline needs extending
- Window positions, cill depths and reveal space
- Services on the wall: gas, electric meters, flues, soil pipes, satellite dishes and lights
- Planning and Building Regulations position for your property and nation

External wall insulation in Melton Mowbray: questions
Can EWI go over pebble dash?
Usually yes. The dash is tested for adhesion and hollow areas; sound dash can be insulated over with additional mechanical fixings, while loose areas are removed first.
Do I need planning permission for external wall insulation?
Often not for a house in England or Wales if the finish looks similar to the existing walls. You will usually need permission in a conservation area, on flats, on commercial buildings or where the appearance changes noticeably. Listed buildings need listed building consent. We check your address before quoting.
How much does external wall insulation cost?
Our guide price for EWI is £105–£170 per m² of wall depending on the system, plus scaffolding. A typical three-bed semi with EPS and silicone render comes to roughly £10,200–£17,700 for the whole house, including scaffold. Installing insulation in a home is zero-rated for VAT until 31 March 2027, so that's the total. You get a fixed written price after a free survey.
