Enhance your home’s energy efficiency and curb appeal with retrofit External Wall Insulation. We’ll significantly reduce heat loss through your walls, leading to lower energy bills, improved comfort and a more attractive exterior — all completed swiftly and with minimal disruption to your daily life.
Save Costs with a New Look
With annual energy savings of up to 40%, External Wall Insulation (EWI) is a crucial retrofitting service that will conserve heat and improve energy efficiency. Give the outside of your property a visual improvement with contemporary finishes for a fresh look. EWI will save you money in the long term, and make your home better looking — all while reducing your carbon footprint.
How it works
We’ll begin the installation process once the project is approved and costs are agreed upon — whether through a landlord insulation grant, government scheme or personal funding.
Our EWI installers will work efficiently to ensure minimal disruption to your daily life while delivering high-quality results. Throughout the project, we maintain open communication to keep you updated and address any questions you may have.
We prepare the exterior walls by cleaning them and fixing any necessary cracks or damage. The walls are then fitted with insulation boards and heat-catching materials (typically mineral wool). To ensure long-lasting results, we also weatherproof the walls and ensure they are durable.
The insulating layer will improve the look of your home with a choice of finishes. Better yet, the results will keep heat in during the winter and keep homes cooler in the summer, with minimal impact on residents during the fitting process. Once finished, you’ll also enjoy better air quality and reduced outside noise — all of which can raise property value!

The Benefits of Exterior Wall Insulation
Un-Intrusive
External Wall Insulation allows you to stay in your home during installation. The work primarily takes place outside, minimising disruption to your daily routine so you can enjoy your living space without interruption.
Noise Dampening
EWI significantly reduces outside noise, creating a more peaceful indoor environment. The insulation material acts as a sound barrier, absorbing sounds from traffic and other disturbances, helping you relax and enjoy a quieter home.
A Fresh Look
External Wall Insulation enhances your home’s appearance with various attractive finishes. It improves energy efficiency and adds curb appeal, allowing you to customise the exterior and potentially increase your property’s value.
FAQs
You won’t need planning permission for EWI in most cases. However, we will check with your local planning authority before starting work.
Since EWI covers the entire exterior of your home, it may alter the building’s appearance. Therefore, it is necessary to check with the local authority whether planning permission is necessary before installation.
Yes, you can often obtain grants or loans to install EWI. Several government schemes and initiatives are available to help homeowners improve energy efficiency, including EWI installation. Here are some options:
- Green Homes Grant
- Local Authority Grants
- Energy Company Obligation (ECO)
We will discuss available grants during our initial assessment and help you through the application process.
The Energy Saving Trust indicates that up to one-third of the heat generated in poorly insulated homes can escape through the walls and roof. By insulating the loft and adding External Wall Insulation, homeowners can reduce their heating costs by up to 40% — showing how important proper insulation is for maintaining a comfortable home and saving on energy bills.
