Homes and walls in Gillingham
As well as Gillingham itself, we quote in Chatham, Rochester and Strood. Gillingham is about 9 miles from Maidstone.
Homes across the South East range from inter-war semis and post-war estates, which are mostly cavity-walled, to older solid-walled cottages and Victorian town terraces.
Much of Kent 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.

Approvals in England
Planning in Gillingham follows England's national rules: similar-looking finishes on houses are usually permitted, while flats, commercial premises, conservation areas and streets under an Article 4 direction need an application.
If the work covers more than half of a wall, or a quarter of the building's whole envelope, it counts as renovating a thermal element, with a target of about 0.30 W/m²K where feasible.

Gillingham: questions
Do you cover Gillingham?
Yes — we survey and quote in Gillingham (ME7) and nearby Chatham, Rochester and Strood.
How much does external wall insulation cost in Gillingham?
Our guide is £105–£170 per m² depending on the system, plus scaffolding — roughly £10,200–£17,700 for a typical three-bed semi with EPS and silicone render. Installing insulation in a home is zero-rated for VAT until 31 March 2027, so that's the total. A free survey fixes the price.
Do I need planning permission in Gillingham?
For a house in Gillingham, external insulation or render is often permitted development if it looks similar to the existing walls; conservation areas, flats, commercial buildings and listed buildings need permission or consent, so we check your address first.
Is VAT charged on wall insulation?
Installing wall insulation in homes is zero-rated until 31 March 2027, then 5%, so our insulation prices are totals. Render-only work and repairs carry VAT at 20%, and our prices for them include it.
