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 Non-Traditional Properties Require Specialist Care

Properties built using non-traditional methods during the mid-twentieth century frequently lack the robust thermal envelopes found in modern housing. Many of these homes in Barry suffer from poor insulation performance, which leads to significant heat loss and increased susceptibility to damp and condensation. Our team focuses on identifying these thermal bridges, ensuring that our insulation strategies are precisely calibrated to improve the thermal integrity of your building without compromising its structural history.

Meeting PAS 2035 Standards for Your Home

Quality and safety are at the core of our operations. We operate in strict accordance with PAS 2030 and PAS 2035 standards, ensuring that every retrofit project is handled with technical expertise and professional oversight. For landlords managing portfolios in Barry, our services are vital for meeting current MEES compliance regulations and boosting your property's EPC ratings. By integrating high-performance external wall insulation, we help you create a more comfortable, energy-efficient living environment that stands the test of time.

How We Deliver High-Quality Retrofit Results

The process begins with a comprehensive retrofit survey to assess the specific construction type and thermal needs of your home. We then design a bespoke insulation solution that addresses the unique requirements of your property, whether it is an end-of-terrace Cornish unit or a detached Wimpey no-fines house. Following the installation, we provide SWIGA insurance-backed guarantees, offering you complete peace of mind and protection for your investment.

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.
