External Wall Insulation in Sittingbourne
EWI systems that insulate solid walls externally and finish them in a warranted render topcoat.
Our external wall insulation work in Sittingbourne starts with a free survey, because guessing at a render specification is how jobs go wrong.
Most of what we see around Sittingbourne reflects the wider Kent pattern — ragstone and flint cottages, oast houses, Victorian terraces and coastal housing, and coastal weathering at Margate and Dover, lime work on ragstone.
Sittingbourne sits in a part of the UK that gets drier than average inland, exposed on the coast — worth factoring into any render decision. Kentish ragstone is porous and traditionally lime-rendered, while the north kent coast takes some of the most persistent easterly exposure in the south east.
When external wall insulation is the right call. Choose EWI on solid-wall, no-fines or non-traditional construction where you want a genuine thermal upgrade rather than just a new finish.

FAQs
External Wall Insulation in Sittingbourne
Will you need scaffolding?
For anything above single storey, yes — it is safer and produces a better finish than working off ladders or towers. Scaffold is included and itemised in the quote.
How long before I can paint new render?
Through-coloured systems need no painting at all. Sand and cement should cure for around 28 days before masonry paint goes anywhere near it.
Do you take a deposit?
For most domestic jobs we take a deposit to cover materials and scaffold, with the balance on completion. Terms are set out clearly in the written quote.
Can you match my existing render?
Usually, yes. We colour and texture match as closely as we can, though weathered render never matches a fresh batch exactly — we will be honest about how visible a patch will be.
Will EWI make my house look different?
The walls become 70-200mm thicker, so reveals get deeper and the eaves usually need extending. Done properly it looks intentional; done cheaply it looks like a box.
