External Wall Insulation for Solid Wall Homes
Homes built before the 1920s usually have solid walls instead of a cavity, and they're common across older housing in the West Midlands and Wales. Without a cavity to fill, the only way to insulate those walls is from the inside or the outside. External wall insulation does it from the outside: we fix insulation boards to the walls, reinforce them with mesh and finish the whole house in a new render.
Because the work is all on the outside, you keep every inch of room space and stay in your home throughout. The new render also acts as a weatherproof layer, protecting the brickwork from rain and frost, so external wall insulation and render tackle heat loss, damp and a tired exterior in one project.External wall insulation is also a sensible first step before a heat pump. A home that holds its heat needs a smaller system, so if you're planning both, it's worth pairing it with our loft insulation and air source heat pump installation services.
