Specialist insulation for non-traditional homes in Caerphilly

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 builds require expert thermal solutions

Standard insulation methods often fail when applied to non-standard construction types. Properties with steel or concrete frames require bespoke external wall insulation systems that account for structural quirks and thermal bridging. Our team brings deep technical knowledge to every project, ensuring that your home receives a continuous thermal envelope. This approach not only stops draughts but also prevents the internal condensation and mould issues that frequently plague older non-traditional housing across South Wales.

Our PAS 2035 approach to whole-house retrofits

Compliance is at the heart of what we do. We operate as a PAS 2030 accredited installer, adhering strictly to PAS 2035 retrofit standards. This ensures that every insulation project is part of a whole-house approach, meaning we consider ventilation and moisture control alongside thermal performance. By choosing Global Plastering, you are investing in a system that is legally compliant and technically superior, providing long-term protection for your property while significantly improving your EPC rating.

How do we upgrade your home for lasting comfort?

Our process begins with a comprehensive retrofit survey of your Caerphilly property. We analyse your specific wall type to determine the most effective insulation material, whether that is mineral wool, phenolic board, or modern render systems. Once the insulation is expertly installed, we apply a high-performance external render finish. This serves a dual purpose: it provides a weather-tight, durable skin that revitalises the appearance of your home while creating a robust barrier against the Welsh weather.

Local expertise and peace of mind for Caerphilly residents

We pride ourselves on being the trusted local experts for non-traditional build insulation. We offer SWIGA insurance-backed guarantees on our installations, giving you the security that your investment is fully protected. Our team has extensive experience working with various building types throughout Caerphilly and the wider South Wales area. For a professional assessment of your home and to discuss how we can help you lower your heating costs, call our expert team today on 07393 355531.

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!"

M. Lewis (Cardiff)

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.
