What we look for in Paignton
Surveys in Paignton also cover the surrounding TQ3 district and towns such as Torquay and Newton Abbot. Paignton is about 26 miles from Plymouth. The South West has many stone and solid-walled cottages, exposed coastal properties and a share of post-war system-built houses, including types such as the Cornish Unit.
Parts of Devon fall in the higher wind-driven rain exposure bands, especially coastal and upland sites, so render specification, movement joints and detailing at cills, verges and the base of the wall matter more than usual.
For terraced homes in Paignton with attractive brick fronts, one approach is to insulate the front internally and the rear externally.

England: planning and regulations
Planning isn't usually involved with internal insulation. Building control is, once more than half of a wall is treated, and listed buildings need listed building consent.
Do I need Building Regulations approval?
Yes, in England and Wales once you insulate or replaster more than half of a wall's area (or more than a quarter of the building's whole envelope), it's treated as renovating a thermal element. The wall should reach about 0.30 W/m²K where practical, and building control needs to be involved.

Internal wall insulation in Paignton: questions
Is internal insulation cheaper than external?
Per m² usually yes, but the cost of moving fittings and redecorating narrows the gap on whole-house jobs.
What happens to my radiators and sockets?
They're taken off and refitted on the new wall face. Electrical work is done by a qualified electrician.
How much room space will I lose?
Usually 50–100mm on each insulated wall, depending on the system.
