Before we quote in Bromsgrove
We also cover Redditch and Droitwich, close to Bromsgrove. Bromsgrove is about 12 miles from Worcester. 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 Worcestershire 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.
We plan EWI in Bromsgrove around the details that cause trouble later — cills, eaves, downpipes and the base of the wall above the damp-proof course.

Approvals in England
Planning in Bromsgrove follows England's national rules: similar-looking finishes on houses are usually permitted, while flats, commercial premises, conservation areas and streets under an Article 4 direction need an application.
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.
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 Bromsgrove: 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.
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.
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.
