What we look for in Bedworth
As well as Bedworth itself, we quote in Nuneaton, Coventry and Hinckley. Bedworth is about 14 miles from Leamington Spa. The West Midlands has large numbers of Victorian and Edwardian terraces, inter-war semis and post-war council estates, including concrete and steel-framed house types.
Much of Warwickshire 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 homes in Bedworth, the survey starts with the wall itself: solid brick, stone or concrete, and whether any old render is sound enough to insulate over.

Approvals in England
For a house in Bedworth, 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.
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.
What finish can I have?
Most EWI is finished in a thin-coat silicone render in a through-coloured shade, with a 1–2mm grain. Acrylic, mineral (painted), dry-dash and brick-slip finishes are also available. Where planning wants a brick look, brick slips over the insulation keep the street appearance.

External wall insulation in Bedworth: 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.
Does external wall insulation cause damp?
Not when it is specified and detailed properly. Problems usually come from poor detailing: no starter track above the damp-proof course, gaps at cills and penetrations, or a vapour-closed system on a wall that needs to breathe. The survey checks moisture, ground levels and the wall type before a system is chosen.
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.
