External wall insulation in Solihull and Birmingham
Solihull and Birmingham have a broad mix of homes, from Victorian and Edwardian terraces to 1930s semis and post-war 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. As our home base, Solihull and Birmingham gets same-week surveys for most enquiries.
Planning and building rules in Solihull and Birmingham
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 Solihull and Birmingham address, and the work is notified under Building Regulations.
