Local considerations in Ashford (Kent)
We cover Ashford (Kent) and nearby Canterbury, Folkestone and Sittingbourne. Ashford (Kent) is about 18 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.
If your home in Ashford (Kent) is in a conservation area, we check the council's position on render before suggesting wood fibre EWI.

Permissions in England
Before quoting in Ashford (Kent), 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.
Building control applies once more than half of a wall is insulated or re-rendered, or more than a quarter of the whole building envelope, and your written quote says how that's handled.
What finish goes over wood fibre?
A lime-based or mineral render designed for the system, applied over a reinforcing base coat. Lime finishes give the softer, slightly irregular texture that suits cottages and older terraces.

Wood fibre EWI in Ashford (Kent): questions
Can wood fibre go on a stone wall?
Yes, after levelling. Rubble stone is often uneven, so a levelling coat or adapted fixing method is used first.
Is wood fibre insulation fireproof?
No — it's a timber product. It chars rather than flaming readily, but it is combustible, so it's used on low-rise buildings within a tested system and never where non-combustible materials are required.
Is wood fibre worth the extra cost?
On older solid walls the main benefit is moisture safety rather than raw U-value. If the wall needs to breathe, the cheaper option can cost more later.

Yes — we survey and quote wood fibre external wall insulation in Ashford (Kent, TN24) and nearby Canterbury, Folkestone and Sittingbourne, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
