Homes and walls in Salisbury
Surveys in Salisbury also cover the surrounding SP1 district and towns such as Andover and Totton. It's roughly 34 miles from Salisbury to Swindon, the largest town in Wiltshire. The South West has many stone and solid-walled cottages, exposed coastal properties and a share of post-war system-built houses, including types such as the Cornish Unit.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Wiltshire: sheltered town streets fare better than walls on high ground or facing the prevailing weather, and the render, beads and cill details are chosen with that in mind.
For older stone and early brick properties in Salisbury, we look at a wood fibre and lime build-up first.

Planning and building control in England
Before quoting in Salisbury, 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 about listed buildings and conservation areas?
EWI on a listed building needs listed building consent and is often refused where the outside appearance matters. In conservation areas, rendering or cladding a house normally needs planning permission. Wood fibre and lime are more likely to be acceptable than foam and acrylic, but the council decides. We check before quoting.

Wood fibre EWI in Salisbury: questions
Does wood fibre need a lime render?
It needs the render specified by the system manufacturer, which is usually lime or mineral based.
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.
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.
Do you cover Salisbury?
Yes — we survey and quote wood fibre external wall insulation in Salisbury (SP1) and nearby Andover, Totton and Southampton, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
