Homes and walls in Essex
The East of England has a mix of post-war estates, inter-war semis and older solid brick and flint cottages, with some system-built council homes on post-war estates.
Much of Essex 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.

England: planning and regulations
Park homes are governed by the site licence rather than householder planning rules, so the key check in your park is the licence's spacing between homes and any rules on exterior finishes.
Insulation adds board and render thickness to the outside of the home, so we measure the gaps to neighbouring homes before specifying it.
Do I need permission from the site owner?
Check the park's rules and your written agreement. Park sites are licensed, and the licence normally sets fire-safety spacing between homes. Adding insulation reduces that gap slightly, so we confirm the measurements and the site's position before quoting. Planning permission isn't normally involved for park homes, but site licence conditions are.

Park home insulation in Essex: questions
Can you insulate under the floor too?
Our focus is the walls and finish. Underfloor and roof options are worth asking about separately; we'll tell you if we can't help.
Is VAT charged on park home insulation?
Installing insulation in a residential home is currently zero-rated until 31 March 2027. Your quote shows the VAT treatment for each line.
Will insulation affect the gap to my neighbour?
It reduces it by the board and render thickness. The site licence sets minimum spacing, so we measure and check before specifying the thickness.
Do you cover all of Essex?
Yes. We survey and quote park home insulation across Essex, including Southend-on-Sea, Basildon, Colchester, Chelmsford, Harlow.
Do I need planning permission in England?
For houses, external wall insulation and render are often permitted development where the finish looks similar to the existing walls. We check your address before quoting.
