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 Homes Require Specialist Retrofit Solutions

Many homes in the Cardiff area built using non-traditional methods suffer from severe thermal bridging and significant heat loss through their wall structures. Unlike conventional brick houses, these buildings require a bespoke approach to ensure that the thermal envelope is continuous and effective. Our PAS 2030 accredited installation process focuses on mitigating these specific structural weaknesses, creating a robust shield that keeps your living space warm during the winter and cool in the summer.

Our Comprehensive Process for Energy Efficiency Improvements

We begin every project with a detailed retrofit assessment to identify the exact needs of your property. Our external wall insulation solutions are designed to wrap your home in high-performance materials, which are then finished with durable, aesthetic renders tailored to your preference. By integrating these systems correctly, we help you lower your energy bills and significantly improve your home's overall EPC rating, ensuring your property meets modern energy standards.

Ensuring Compliance and Long-Term Peace of Mind

Navigating energy efficiency regulations can be complex, especially when dealing with non-traditional housing. Global Plastering strictly adheres to PAS 2035 standards to ensure every project is legally compliant and future-proofed. As a SWIGA-insured installer, we provide insurance-backed guarantees, offering homeowners and landlords throughout Caerdydd and Cardiff complete confidence in the durability and performance of our workmanship.

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.
