Fishponds' 1930s semis are solid 9-inch brick with no cavity. EWI with 90mm graphite EPS brings the U-value from around 1.7 W/m²K down to 0.30 or below — a real difference in fuel bills over the first winter.
If your Bristol home was built before 1990, chances are it has no cavity wall insulation and minimal loft insulation. The result: heat loss through the walls (up to 35% of your total heat loss), cold spots around window reveals, condensation on inside walls, and high energy bills. External Wall Insulation fixes all of this in one go. We fix 80-150mm of high-performance insulation board to the outside of your property, then apply a reinforced base coat and a silicone or monocouche render finish. The result: a 25-35% reduction in heating bills, elimination of condensation, and a fresh modern exterior. EWI typically pays for itself in 8-12 years through energy savings. We install Weber, K Rend and Johnstone's EWI systems.
Fishponds is a long suburb running along the Frome Valley between Eastville and Downend. The western end (closer to the city centre) has the older 1930s semis on streets like Stapleton Road and the Frome Valley Road, while the eastern end has the larger post-war council estates — particularly the estates around the old Stapleton Road hospital and the new-build infill. Many of the council properties were re-rendered in the 1990s with acrylic systems that are now failing. We work on a lot of these — typically strip and re-render with a BBA-approved silicone system.

Top company, needed my bathroom done ASAP and KD managed to do an incredible job despite the short notice and tight schedule, their price was alot more competitive than the other 3 quotes I received, this is the company you need to use for all of your plastering needs.
