Before we quote in Broadstairs
We also cover Ramsgate and Margate, close to Broadstairs. It's roughly 40 miles from Broadstairs to Maidstone, the largest town in Kent. 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.
For blocks in Broadstairs, we start with height, storeys and the planning position, because those decide the system.

Approvals in England
Before quoting in Broadstairs, we check whether the property is in a conservation area, under an Article 4 direction or listed, because that decides whether changing the outside needs planning permission.
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.
On residential buildings with a storey 11 metres or more above ground, guidance points to non-combustible external wall materials, and combustible materials are banned in relevant buildings 18 metres and over, so we specify mineral wool systems there.
What fire-safety rules apply?
For blocks with a storey 11 metres or more above ground, guidance points to external wall materials of limited combustibility, and combustible materials are banned in the external walls of relevant buildings 18 metres and over in England. Higher-risk buildings (18 metres or seven storeys and above, with at least two homes) go through the Building Safety Regulator. We specify non-combustible systems wherever these apply and tell you at enquiry stage if a building is outside our scope.

Flats and blocks in Broadstairs: questions
Can one flat have external wall insulation on its own?
Rarely. The outside walls are usually owned by the freeholder, the result would look patchy, and planning is unlikely. Whole-building schemes are the norm.
Who pays for EWI on a leasehold block?
In England and Wales, usually the leaseholders through the service charge, depending on the lease, and the landlord must follow the Section 20 consultation process for major works.
Do you work on high-rise buildings?
Tell us the height and number of storeys. Buildings in the higher-risk category have a separate regulatory route, and we'll say plainly if we're not the right contractor.
Do you cover Broadstairs?
Yes — we survey and quote EWI for flats and blocks in Broadstairs (CT10) and nearby Ramsgate, Margate and Deal, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
