Permissions in England
Internal insulation rarely needs planning permission, but in England and Wales insulating or replastering more than half of a wall's area involves building control, and listed buildings need consent for internal changes that affect their character.
What are the risks with internal insulation?
Insulating inside makes the masonry colder, so moisture risk rises. Weak points are where floor joists bear into the wall, window reveals and corners. A condensation risk check for the build-up, a continuous vapour control layer where specified, and returning insulation into reveals deal with most of it.

Internal wall insulation in Manchester: questions
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.
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.
Do you cover Manchester?
Yes — we survey and quote internal wall insulation in Manchester (M1) and nearby Salford, Failsworth and Droylsden, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
