What's included

- Steel-framed BISF houses need care around the upper-storey cladding
- Fixing design depends on the panel or frame behind the wall
- Most system-built homes have thin, cold walls and no fillable cavity
Local considerations in Canterbury
As well as Canterbury itself, we quote in Whitstable, Herne Bay and Ashford (Kent). Canterbury sits around 24 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.
For concrete houses in Canterbury, we report any visible spalling or cracking before quoting the insulation, not after.

Permissions in England
Planning in Canterbury 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.
Insulating or re-rendering more than half of a wall's area brings in Part L of the Building Regulations, so building control is notified and the wall is upgraded to about 0.30 W/m²K where practical.
What does the work involve?
After checking the wall condition, any spalling concrete or corroded steel is reported before boards go on. Fixings are chosen for the substrate — concrete, steel-framed panels or mixed constructions — and the system is detailed around eaves, cills and the junction with neighbouring properties, which may not be insulated.

Non-traditional houses in Canterbury: questions
What if my neighbour isn't insulating?
We finish the system neatly at the boundary with a closing detail so the neighbouring house isn't affected and can be joined later.
Can you put EWI on a BISF house?
Yes, with care. The steel frame and upper-storey cladding need a system and fixing method designed for that construction, and the condition of the frame should be understood first.
Can you insulate a Wimpey no-fines house?
Yes. No-fines houses have solid poured-concrete walls with no cavity, so EWI is the usual route. The survey checks the concrete condition first.
Do you cover Canterbury?
Yes — we survey and quote non-traditional house insulation in Canterbury (CT1) and nearby Whitstable, Herne Bay and Ashford (Kent), with a fixed written price before any work starts.
