Planning and building control in England
Before quoting in Stourport-on-Severn, 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.
Why do older walls need breathable insulation?
Stone and early brick walls were built with lime mortars and renders that let moisture in and out. Sealing them with impermeable materials can trap water in the wall, leading to damp and frost damage. Wood fibre keeps the build-up open to vapour, and its ability to absorb and release moisture helps the wall stay in balance.

Wood fibre EWI in Stourport-on-Severn: 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.
