Most external wall insulation work in Widcombe sits on Georgian limestone rather than the brick and pebbledash that dominates Bristol. That changes the specification before it changes the price — a solid lime-built wall needs a breathable system, and listed or conservation-area status is common here. We survey every property before quoting and say plainly whether external wall insulation is the right answer for your wall.

Widcombe is a village-style suburb south of the river — it's actually the first suburb south of Bath Spa station, with the station itself forming a kind of boundary. The housing mixes Georgian cottages along Claverton Street with Victorian villas and modern canal-side apartments. Centrally-located but quiet, the area is popular with both families and commuters — we regularly render whole terraces here. The proximity to the Kennet & Avon Canal means some properties have moisture considerations that we address with breathable render systems.

Kyran and his team are really good - the work done re-rendering a heritage building was first rate. Tidied and cleaned the site.
