Stop heating Burgess Hill streets

Ever noticed how some rooms in your Burgess Hill home just never seem to stay warm, no matter how high the thermostat goes? It is a bit like trying to fill a bucket with a hole in it. If your property was built before the 1920s, you likely have solid walls that act like a giant heat sink, letting up to 45% of your expensive heating escape directly into the West Sussex air. Most homeowners we chat with are tired of feeling that persistent chill through the brickwork, and that is exactly where we come in. We specialise in wrapping your home in a high-performance thermal layer that keeps the heat exactly where it belongs: inside with you.

Why Choose Portslade Plastering for External Wall Insulation in Southwick?

Cut bills by 45 percent

External Wall Insulation (EWI) is essentially like putting a high-quality thermal duvet around your entire house. By fixing insulation boards such as EPS or mineral wool to your external walls, we can drastically lower your property's U-value—the technical measure of how much heat you are losing. We have seen first-hand how this helps families across Mid Sussex beat the energy price hikes. It is not just about saving money, though; it is about that lovely, toasty feeling of a home that stays warm long after the heating has clicked off. Why keep throwing money out the window when you could be investing it back into your property's future?

Transform your home's appearance

You might be worried that adding insulation will make your house look like a building site, but it is actually the opposite. Because we are Approved PRB Systems Contractors, every EWI project we finish looks stunning. We apply modern, through-colour renders like silicone or monocouche over the insulation layer. This means you get a fresh, clean finish that never needs painting and is specifically designed for coastal weatherproofing. Whether you want a crisp modern look or something that fits the traditional character of your neighbourhood, we have the palette to match. It is a 'good as new' finish that protects your brickwork from the damp Sussex winters.

Bypass messy internal work

One of the biggest questions we get from locals in Burgess Hill is about the disruption. The beauty of EWI is that every bit of the work happens outside. Unlike internal insulation, you do not have to move your heavy wardrobes, take down the curtains, or lose any of your precious floor space. We do not need to hack off your internal plaster or create a mess in your living room. You can carry on with your daily routine while we transform the efficiency of your home from the garden. It is a non-invasive way to improve your EPC rating and potentially boost your property's market value without the headache of a traditional renovation.

Trust local PRB specialists

Choosing a tradesperson is all about trust, especially when it comes to the structural integrity of your home. We have been serving the Mid Sussex area for over a decade, building a reputation for clean, tidy, and honest workmanship. We carry £1 million in Public Liability Insurance, so you have total peace of mind while we are on-site. As specialists in PRB Rendering Systems, we do not cut corners with cheap materials; we use the best because we know the West Sussex weather can be unforgiving. From fixing 'cold spots' and thermal bridging to solving penetrating damp issues, we handle the whole process with professional care.

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.
