What is brick slip external wall insulation?

Brick slip EWI in Sittingbourne: questions

Is building control approval needed for brick slip external wall insulation in Sittingbourne?

Insulating more than half of a wall, or more than a quarter of the whole building envelope, counts as renovating a thermal element under the Building Regulations, so the wall should reach 0.30 W/m²K where that is technically, functionally and economically feasible, and building control must be involved. We arrange it as part of the job.

Do you cover Faversham as well as Sittingbourne?

Yes. From Sittingbourne we also cover Faversham, Gillingham and Chatham, and the rest of Kent.

Which EWI system suits homes in Sittingbourne?

It depends on the walls. Most brick houses in Sittingbourne suit EPS with silicone render; older stone or lime-built walls suit wood fibre or insulating lime render; and blocks need mineral wool. The free survey recommends one and explains why.
