Upgrade your Southwick home with external wall insulation

Ever felt a chill in your living room even when the heating has been on for hours? If you live in one of Southwick's beautiful older properties, particularly those solid-wall homes near the Green or down towards Shoreham Harbour, you're likely losing a staggering amount of heat through your brickwork. In fact, without proper insulation, about 45% of your home's warmth simply escapes through the walls. It’s a bit like trying to keep a cuppa warm without a lid on the mug.At Portslade Plastering, we specialise in External Wall Insulation (EWI), a clever system that acts like a high-tech tea cosy for your house. Based right here in Portslade, our team has spent years helping neighbours across Brighton, Worthing, and the Adur district turn cold, draughty houses into toasty, energy-efficient homes. Because the insulation is applied to the outside, you don't lose any of your precious indoor floor space, and you won't have us trekking through your hallway with bags of plaster. If you're ready to stop throwing money out the window, give us a call on 01273 957212 for a friendly chat and a free quote.

Why Choose Portslade Plastering for External Wall Insulation in Southwick?

Stop wasting money on rising energy bills

Most homeowners we speak to in Southwick are fed up with the constant cycle of energy price hikes. If your property was built before the 1920s, it probably has solid walls rather than cavity walls, meaning there’s no gap to fill with traditional insulation. This is where EWI really shines. By fixing high-performance insulation boards—like EPS or Mineral Wool—directly to your external walls, we drastically lower your home's U-value (the rate at which heat escapes).But it's not just about the numbers on your EPC. By eliminating 'thermal bridging'—those annoying cold spots that lead to condensation and black mould—you're creating a much healthier environment for your family. Imagine waking up on a frosty January morning and not needing to immediately dive for the thermostat. That's the difference a professionally installed EWI system makes.

Approved PRB Systems installers you can trust

We know that choosing someone to work on your home is a big decision. You want to know the job’s being done right, especially with the coastal weather we get here in Sussex. That’s why we’re proud to be Approved PRB Systems Contractors. PRB is a leader in high-performance renders, and our status means we’ve been vetted and trained to install their systems to the highest possible standards.Fully Insured: We carry £1 million in Public Liability Insurance for your absolute peace of mind.Local Expertise: From Victorian terraces in Southwick to modern builds in Worthing, we know the local architecture inside out.Durable Finishes: We don't just slap on some insulation; we finish it with weather-resistant silicone or monocouche renders that look fantastic for years.We’re a local team, not a massive faceless corporation. When you call us, you're talking to tradespeople who take genuine pride in their craft and their reputation within the Portslade and Southwick community.

Transform your property's look and kerb appeal

One of the best things about External Wall Insulation is the 'good as new' finish it gives your home. If your current brickwork is looking a bit tired, or your old render is cracking and letting in damp, EWI solves two problems at once. Once the insulation boards are mechanically fixed and meshed, we apply a beautiful, through-colour render. Because we use advanced materials like silicone render, you’ll benefit from a finish that is highly flexible (meaning no more unsightly cracks) and breathable. The best part? These renders are through-coloured, so you can put the paintbrushes away for good. Whether you want a crisp, modern white or a softer coastal tone, your home will be the envy of the street. It’s an investment that not only saves you money on bills but also adds significant value to your property.

Minimal disruption for a warmer home

A common concern we hear is, "How much mess will this make?" The beauty of EWI is that it's a non-invasive process. Unlike internal insulation, which requires moving radiators, skirting boards, and kitchen units, all our work happens outside. You can go about your daily routine while we work on the exterior of your property. We take great care to protect your garden, windows, and driveways, and we make sure the site is kept clean and tidy throughout the project. From the initial over-boarding to the final scrape of the monocouche render, we keep you informed every step of the way. If you’re in a conservation area or a listed building in Southwick or Brighton, we can also offer advice on local planning considerations to ensure your project goes off without a hitch.

FAQ

External Wall Insulation FAQs

Answers to common questions about our energy-efficient External Wall Insulation (EWI) and rendering services in Southwick and across Portslade, Brighton & Worthing.

How long does new plaster take to dry?

+

It usually takes about three to five days, but this depends on the weather and how much air is moving through the room. You will see the plaster change from a dark wet look to a light, uniform pink. It is best to wait until it is completely light pink before you start painting.

Do I need to clear the room before you start?

+

It helps if the room is as empty as possible so we have space to work and move our ladders safely. We always bring plenty of heavy-duty dust sheets to protect your floors and any large bits of furniture that cannot be moved.

Can you plaster over my old Artex ceiling?

+

Usually, yes. We can either scrape back the high points and skim over it, or if the texture is very deep, we might suggest over-boarding it with new plasterboard first. We will check the condition of the ceiling and give you the best advice for a long-lasting finish.

What is the benefit of a PRB render system?

+

PRB systems are designed to be flexible and breathable. In coastal areas like Worthing and Portslade, this is very important because it helps prevent cracks and stands up to the salt air much better than traditional materials. Plus, because they come in various colours, you won't need to paint them.

How do I know if I have rising damp or just condensation?

+

Rising damp usually leaves a tide mark on the lower part of the wall, often with some salt staining or peeling wallpaper. Condensation usually shows up as black mould in corners or behind furniture where air does not move. We can come out, take a look with a moisture meter and tell you exactly what is going on.

Is your work guaranteed?

+

We take huge pride in what we do. If there is ever an issue with the workmanship, we will come back and make it right. Our use of high-quality materials also means the finish is built to last for many years.
