Keep Your Arundel Home Toasty All Year Round

Ever feel like you're heating the garden rather than your living room? If you live in one of Arundel's beautiful period properties, you'll know that while they look stunning from the outside, they can be a nightmare to keep warm. Many of the older homes around the Arun district were built with solid walls, which means there's no cavity to fill with insulation. The heat simply escapes straight through the brickwork. That's where External Wall Insulation (EWI) comes in. Think of it as wrapping your house in a high-performance, weather-proof jacket. It's a game-changer for local homeowners who are tired of shivering through the winter and watching their energy bills climb higher every month.

Why Choose Portslade Plastering for External Wall Insulation in Southwick?

Stop Throwing Money Out The Window

Most people we chat with are shocked to learn that up to 45% of a home's heat can escape through uninsulated solid walls. By installing an EWI system, we can drastically lower your property's U-value—that's just a technical way of saying we slow down the rate at which heat leaks out. We use high-quality materials like EPS or Mineral Wool slabs, which are mechanically fixed to your external walls. This doesn't just stop the draughts; it eliminates 'thermal bridging'—those annoying cold spots that often lead to condensation and mould inside your cupboards. It's about more than just saving a few quid on the gas bill; it's about making your home a genuinely comfortable place to be.

Expert PRB Systems Installers In West Sussex

We don't just slap some boards on the wall and call it a day. As approved PRB Systems contractors, we're trained to use some of the best rendering products on the market. Once the insulation layer is secure, we apply a beautiful, through-colour silicone or monocouche render finish. Because the colour is built right into the render, you won't have to worry about the paint peeling or having to get the ladders out every few years. It's low-maintenance, highly breathable, and provides essential coastal weatherproofing against the damp Sussex air. Your house won't just be warmer; it'll look like a brand-new build, significantly boosting its kerb appeal and potentially its value too.

Upgrade Your Home Without The Interior Mess

One of the biggest worries homeowners have about insulation is the disruption. If you go for internal dry lining, you're looking at moving furniture, losing floor space in every room, and dealing with weeks of dust. EWI is different. Because all the work happens on the outside, you can keep living your life indoors exactly as normal. Our team is known across Portslade and Arundel for being tidy and respectful. We take care of your garden, protect your windows, and ensure the site is left spotless. It's a straightforward way to improve your EPC rating and tackle fuel poverty without having to redecorate your entire house from top to bottom.

Helping Arundel Properties Stay Protected And Dry

Living near the coast means our homes take a bit of a beating from the wind and rain. If your current render is cracked or blown, you might already be dealing with penetrating damp. Our EWI systems act as a robust barrier, protecting your building fabric from the elements. We’re fully insured with £1m Public Liability cover and have spent over a decade perfecting our craft across the Sussex coast. Whether you're in a conservation area near the Castle and need advice on planning, or you're in a more modern home in the Arun valley, we've got the expertise to help. Give us a call on 01273 957212 for a friendly chat and a free, no-obligation quote. We'll pop round, assess your walls, and show you exactly how we can make your home warmer and more efficient.

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.
