External Wall Insulation in
Hanham
Hanham is our home — based on Roman Way, we work on Hanham properties almost every week. The mix here is unusually broad: 1930s semi-detached homes along the main roads, large post-war detached properties on the Park Farm and Blue Mountain estates, and a growing number of riverside homes along the Avon.

Hanham's 1930s semis are ideal candidates for EWI — they're cavity-walled with thin blocks and run cold on winter mornings. We install 90-100mm graphite EPS with silicone top coat, typically achieving a U-value below 0.30 W/m²K.
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.
Hanham is where KD Plastering & Rendering Services is based — our office on Roman Way sits a five-minute walk from the Memorial Park. We render more properties in Hanham than anywhere else, and we know the housing stock intimately. The 1930s semi-detached homes along Court Road, Tabernacle Road and the Avon Ring Road form the backbone of the area — typically 3-bed, 900-1,100 sq ft, with original sand-and-cement or pebbledash render that's now 60-80 years old and reaching end-of-life. The post-war detached homes on the Park Farm and Blue Mountain estates (built 1955-1975) are generally larger — 1,200-1,800 sq ft — and many have original 1970s pebbledash that's failing. The newer homes on the riverside developments and the Blue Mountain extension are 1990s-2000s executive detached, typically already rendered but with acrylic systems that are starting to fail. Whatever your Hanham property, we can render it.

Verified reviews from recent work.
Kyran was very professional and easy to communicate with throughout the process. He did a great job with the garage render, delivering exactly what I was looking for. I'd happily recommend him and would work with him again.
