External wall insulation in Dudley
Dudley and the surrounding Black Country towns have many older brick-built terraces and semis alongside newer estates. Solid walls lose far more heat than filled cavity walls, and cavity fill isn't an option for them. External wall insulation wraps the outside of the house and finishes it in render, which renews the look of the property at the same time.
What the survey checks
We confirm the wall construction, check for damp, and plan the details around windows, sills, downpipes, meters and the roof line, which are where external insulation succeeds or fails. Our in-house team works in Dudley regularly, so a survey is booked around nearby jobs rather than as a one-off trip.
Planning and building rules in Dudley
External wall insulation changes the outside of the building, so it can need planning permission, particularly in a conservation area or on the front of the property. We check what applies to your Dudley address, and the work is notified under Building Regulations.
