Expert Solid Wall Insulation Solutions for Crickhowell Homes

If you live in an older property in Crickhowell, you may be familiar with cold walls and rising heating costs. Many homes in Powys, from traditional stone-built cottages to Victorian terraces, lack cavity walls, leading to significant heat loss. At Global Plastering, we specialise in high-performance solid wall insulation, providing both External Wall Insulation (EWI) and Internal Wall Insulation (IWI). As PAS 2030 accredited experts, we help local homeowners improve their thermal comfort and energy efficiency, ensuring your property is warmer in winter and more cost-effective to run throughout the year.

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 External and Internal Wall Insulation

Not every property in Crickhowell is suited to the same insulation method. External Wall Insulation involves applying high-quality insulating boards to the outside of your property, finished with a breathable, decorative silicone render. This protects your brickwork while dramatically reducing thermal bridging. If your home has unique architectural features that must be preserved, or if you live in a conservation area, we may recommend Internal Wall Insulation instead. This process involves installing thermal lining to the internal surface of your walls, followed by professional plastering and skimming for a perfect finish.

Improving Energy Efficiency and Property Value

Improving your EPC rating is essential for modern homeowners and landlords, especially with the tightening of Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES). Solid wall insulation is one of the most effective ways to lower your energy bills and reduce your carbon footprint. By retrofitting your home, you are not only making it more comfortable but also increasing its long-term market value. We guide you through the process, assessing your specific build type—whether it is a standard solid wall, a non-traditional Airey home, or a stone cottage—to ensure the solution is both compliant and effective.

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.
