Why Choose Our Non-Traditional Build Insulation Services?

Based in Ferndale and covering South Wales and South West England, Global Plastering provides specialist thermal performance upgrades for complex property types, including Airey, Cornish units, and Wimpey no-fines concrete homes. Trust our fully insured, seasoned experts to effectively treat cold walls, drastically reduce your energy bills, and safely improve your property's EPC rating.

Why Do Non-Traditional Builds in Blaenau Gwent Require Special Care?

Properties built using non-traditional techniques often lack the thermal mass of standard brick or block homes, leading to cold walls and high energy bills. Whether you live in an Airey house or a steel-framed property, these buildings frequently suffer from thermal bridging where heat escapes through structural elements. By applying an engineered external wall insulation system, we create a continuous thermal blanket around your home. This process not only stops heat loss at the source but also protects your property from the wet, unpredictable weather conditions often found throughout the Welsh valleys.

Our PAS 2035 Compliant Retrofit Process

We follow the rigorous PAS 2035 retrofit standards to ensure every project is safe, compliant, and highly effective. Our process begins with a comprehensive retrofit survey to identify the specific structural needs of your home. We then design a tailored insulation and rendering system that respects the building's original design while vastly improving its thermal efficiency. From checking the suitability of your wall substrate to installing modern finishes that provide a stylish, durable facelift, our team manages every detail of the transformation.

Key Benefits of Upgrading Your Property

Upgrading a system-built home provides immediate improvements to your daily quality of life. You will notice a significant reduction in your monthly energy bills as your heating system works more efficiently. Furthermore, improving the thermal performance of your home boosts your EPC rating, which is essential for meeting current landlord MEES requirements or increasing the long-term value of your property. Beyond energy savings, our rendering finishes provide a weather-tight, aesthetically pleasing exterior that protects your building from cracks and water ingress for years to come.

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 our specialist non-traditional build insulation and retrofit services in South Wales and South West England and across South Wales.

What is a Wimpey no-fines house and can it be insulated?

+

A Wimpey no-fines house is built using concrete that doesn't contain "fines" (small stones or sand), creating a porous structure. These homes are perfect candidates for external wall insulation. Because the walls are solid, EWI is the most effective way to stop heat loss and prevent the damp issues often associated with this build type.

Will I need planning permission to insulate my Airey or Cornish unit?

+

In many cases, external wall insulation falls under permitted development. However, because it changes the appearance of the property, it is always best to check with your local council in South Wales or the South West. If you live in a conservation area or a listed building, stricter rules apply. We can help you understand the requirements for your specific location.

How long does it take to install insulation on a non-traditional home?

+

Most domestic projects take between two to three weeks, depending on the size of the house and the weather. We manage the scaffolding, the delivery of materials, and the final clean-up, so you don't have to worry about the logistics.

Can you help with hard-to-treat properties like Airey houses?

+

Yes, Airey houses are a core part of our business. These homes have a specific concrete pier and panel construction that requires a specialist approach to fixing insulation. We use industry-approved methods to ensure the structural integrity of your home is maintained while we upgrade its thermal performance.
