Comprehensive Retrofit Services for Swansea Landlords

We specialise in whole-house retrofit solutions that address the specific thermal needs of local building types. Our PAS 2030 accredited team is experienced in installing external wall insulation (EWI), internal wall insulation (IWI), and loft insulation. For older, solid wall properties common in the Abertawe region, our insulation services are essential for tackling cold walls, condensation, and rising energy bills. We also work with non-traditional building structures, including Airey and Cornish units, ensuring every installation meets rigorous PAS 2035 standards.

Why Choose Our PAS Accredited Retrofit Experts?

Navigating the complexities of decarbonisation and EPC legislation requires a partner who understands the local landscape. We are fully CHAS-accredited and provide SWIGA-backed guarantees for our insulation works, giving you total peace of mind. By working with us, you are choosing a team that understands the challenges of HMO management, from minimising disruption for current tenants to securing planning permissions for properties in conservation areas. Our focus is on long-term value, property protection, and regulatory compliance.

How Our Energy Efficiency Process Works

Our service begins with a professional retrofit assessment to identify the most effective energy loss solutions for your specific property. We handle the entire project lifecycle, from technical design to final installation, ensuring full adherence to PAS 2035 guidelines. Our team works efficiently to complete upgrades with minimal intrusion to your tenants. Once completed, your property will benefit from a vastly improved thermal envelope, directly contributing to a higher EPC rating and reduced heating costs.

What Our Clients Say About Global Plastering

"Excellent work the team removing our old 1970's cladding and replacing it with insulation and a rendered finish. The job went smooth from start to finish with all old materials removed from site. We are very pleased with the end result and would thoroughly recommend Global Plastering."

A. Jenkins (Ferndale)

"Dilwyn and his team were brilliant and made a lovely job of our EWI. They were very friendly, hard-working, and left no mess at the end of each day. Our house looks great and we can definitely feel the benefits of the insulation already. I'm very glad we chose EWI especially with energy costs as they are now."

G. Toogood (Bristol)

"Charlotte and the team were professional, reliable, and excellent at communicating throughout. They did a fantastic job of skimming and rendering the back of our house during our renovation. Superb quality of work and highly recommended!"

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about HMO EPC upgrades, MEES compliance, and our PAS 2035 retrofit services in South Wales and South West England.

What is the minimum EPC rating for HMOs in 2024?

+

Currently, the minimum standard is an E. However, the government has proposed that all new tenancies must reach a C by 2025/2026, with all existing tenancies hitting that mark by 2028-2030. Even if the deadlines shift slightly, the trend is clear: D and E rated properties will soon be unrentable legally.

How does External Wall Insulation help my EPC score?

+

In many older Ferndale properties, the walls are "solid," meaning they have no cavity to fill. These walls lose heat incredibly fast. EWI acts like a thermal tea cosy for your house. Because it is so effective at stopping heat loss, it is often the single biggest "point-scorer" on an EPC assessment for a Victorian or Edwardian building.

Do I need planning permission for EWI on my HMO?

+

In many cases, EWI falls under permitted development. However, if your property is in a conservation area or is a listed building, rules change. We can help you navigate this, and if you are in a terrace where EWI might change the look of the street, we can discuss finishes like brick-slips that mimic the original look while providing modern warmth.

Is Internal Wall Insulation a better option for HMOs?

+

IWI is great if you want to keep the external look of the building exactly as it is, or if planning rules prevent EWI. The downside is that it reduces the room's internal dimensions slightly. In an HMO, where room sizes are strictly regulated by the council, you have to be careful not to make a room too small to be legally let. We can advise on the thinnest, most efficient materials to prevent this.

How long does an energy retrofit take?

+

It depends on the size of the house, but a typical terraced HMO can usually be insulated and rendered externally in 2 to 3 weeks, depending on the weather. We work efficiently to make sure there is minimal disruption to your tenants.
