Why Choose Us for Solid Wall Insulation?

Based in Ferndale and covering South Wales and South West England, Global Plastering is your trusted local partner for tackling cold, hard-to-heat homes. Whether you need External Wall Insulation (EWI) to transform a solid brick property or Internal Wall Insulation (IWI) to preserve a historic Victorian façade, our fully guaranteed retrofit services eliminate thermal bridging, lock in heat, and dramatically improve your EPC rating.

Choosing Between Internal and External Wall Insulation

Deciding between Internal Wall Insulation and External Wall Insulation depends largely on your property type and individual goals. External Wall Insulation involves applying an insulating layer to the outside of your property, which is then rendered, providing a complete thermal wrap that also rejuvenates the building's aesthetic. This is ideal for most detached or semi-detached homes. For properties where the exterior appearance must be preserved, such as certain heritage or listed buildings, Internal Wall Insulation is the preferred alternative. This process involves fixing insulation boards to the interior walls before re-plastering, ensuring a warm, modern finish while maintaining the character of your home's external facade.

Why Should You Prioritise Thermal Upgrades Now?

Living in a home with solid walls often leads to high energy bills and a lack of thermal comfort during the winter months. Without proper insulation, these walls act as a bridge for heat to escape, making it difficult to maintain a consistent indoor temperature. Our retrofit services help you tackle these issues head-on, directly contributing to an improved EPC rating and a more sustainable property. Beyond just saving money on heating, our insulation solutions mitigate the risk of damp and mould growth, which are common symptoms of cold, uninsulated walls. We ensure every project meets the rigorous PAS 2035 retrofit standards, providing a professional approach that prioritises building health and longevity.

Expertise in Non-Traditional and Historic Builds

Our team at Global Plastering brings extensive experience to a wide range of building types, including traditional stone dwellings and more challenging non-traditional builds like Airey or no-fines concrete houses. Navigating the unique thermal requirements of these structures requires a deep understanding of building physics. We work closely with our clients to deliver solutions that are both compliant and effective. As a SWIGA-accredited installer, we are able to provide insurance-backed guarantees on our work, giving you total peace of mind that your investment is protected by high industry standards.

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 PAS 2030 accredited solid wall insulation, EWI solutions, and retrofit services in South Wales and South West England and across South Wales.

Does solid wall insulation cause damp?

+

When installed correctly by professionals like us, it actually helps prevent damp. By keeping the internal surface of the wall warmer, it stops water vapour in the air from condensing on the wall. We always make sure there is adequate ventilation as part of our PAS 2035 assessment to keep the air fresh and the walls dry.

Do I need planning permission for External Wall Insulation?

+

In many cases, EWI falls under "permitted development." However, if you live in a conservation area, a listed building, or if the insulation significantly changes the look of the front of your house, you might need permission. We can help advise you on the local rules in Rhondda Cynon Taf and beyond.

How long does the installation take?

+

For a standard semi-detached or terraced home, External Wall Insulation usually takes between 2 to 3 weeks, depending on the weather. Internal insulation can be faster but depends on how many rooms you are doing at once. We always aim to keep the workspace tidy and the disruption to a minimum.

Is it worth the investment?

+

Solid wall houses lose about twice as much heat as those with cavity walls. By insulating, you are making a long-term investment that protects the fabric of your building, slashes your carbon footprint, and saves you money every single month on your gas or electric bills.
