External Wall Insulation in Brighton And Hove, Brighton and Hove

Most homes in our area built before the 1920s don't have cavity walls, meaning there's nowhere to blow traditional insulation. If you've got solid brick walls, you're likely losing about 45% of your heat right through the structure itself. By wrapping your home in EWI, we drastically lower the 'U-value'—that's just a fancy way of saying we stop heat from escaping. It's the most effective way to beat the energy price hikes and move your EPC rating in the right direction. Imagine not having to dive for a jumper the second the sun goes down; that's the difference a professional EWI system makes.

We don't just glue some boards on and hope for the best. As approved installers for PRB Systems, we use the best materials on the market to ensure your home stays protected for decades. Whether we use EPS or mineral wool insulation, we make sure it's mechanically fixed properly to avoid 'thermal bridging'—those annoying cold spots that often lead to internal mould. Because we're local to Portslade, we know exactly how to handle the salt air and wind-driven rain that hits the Brighton and Hove coastline. We don't cut corners because we know how unforgiving the sea air can be on poor-quality work.

One of the best bits about EWI is the final finish. Once the insulation is securely in place, we apply high-performance renders like silicone or monocouche. These are 'through-colour' systems, meaning the pigment is mixed right into the render. You'll never have to pick up a paintbrush or hire a decorator to do the outside of your house again! It’s a low-maintenance solution that transforms a tired-looking terrace into the smartest house on the street. If you're in a conservation area or near Southwick Green, we can chat about specific finishes and colours that keep the local council happy while keeping you warm.

Living by the sea is lovely until the winter gales start pushing rain into your brickwork. Penetrating damp is a common headache for homeowners in Brighton and Hove, often caused by porous old bricks or cracked render. Our EWI systems act as a waterproof shield, keeping your internal walls bone dry even in the worst Southwick storms. It’s a double win: you get a toasty warm living room and you protect the structural integrity of your building. We've seen far too many houses suffer from damp because they lack this protective layer—don't let yours be one of them.
