Keep your Haywards Heath home warmer for less

Ever felt like you're constantly turning up the thermostat only for the heat to vanish the moment the boiler clicks off? You aren't alone. Many homeowners we chat with in Haywards Heath and across Mid Sussex tell us their older properties feel like they're 'leaking' heat. If your home was built before the 1920s, it likely has solid walls, which are notorious for letting warmth escape. That is where External Wall Insulation (EWI) comes in. Think of it as a high-performance, weather-tight jacket for your house. By wrapping your property in a layer of high-quality insulation, we stop that heat from escaping through the brickwork, keeping you toasty and warm even when the Sussex frost starts to bite.

Why Choose Portslade Plastering for External Wall Insulation in Southwick?

Stop the chill with expert solid wall insulation

If you live in one of the many beautiful Victorian or Edwardian terraces near the station or closer to the town centre, you've probably noticed that traditional cavity wall insulation isn't an option for you. These solid-wall properties lose up to 45% of their heat through the exterior. We specialise in fixing exactly that. By using EWI, we eliminate what we call 'thermal bridging'—those pesky cold spots where damp and mould love to hide. It is a game-changer for your comfort levels and your EPC rating. We use specific materials like EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) or Mineral Wool to drastically lower your property's U-value, meaning your home stays warmer in the winter and surprisingly cooler during those rare Sussex heatwaves. It is an investment that pays for itself through lower energy bills and a significantly more comfortable living space.

Approved PRB Systems contractors for a perfect finish

We know that the look of your home is just as important as its energy efficiency. That is why we are proud to be Approved PRB Systems Contractors. When we install your insulation, we don't just leave you with a functional fix; we give your home a complete facelift. Whether you prefer the crisp, modern look of Monocouche render or the flexible, low-maintenance benefits of Silicone through-colour renders, we've got you covered. These systems are designed to be breathable and highly weatherproof, which is essential for our coastal-influenced climate here in West Sussex. The best part? Because the colour is mixed right through the render, you can say goodbye to the ladder and the paintbrush for good. It is a 'good as new' finish that protects your brickwork and keeps your home looking sharp for years to come.

Improve your home with minimal internal disruption

One of the biggest worries homeowners have when considering insulation is the mess. 'Do I have to move all my furniture?' or 'Will I lose floor space?' are questions we hear all the time. The beauty of External Wall Insulation is that all the hard work happens outside. Unlike internal insulation, which involves hacking off plaster and moving radiators, our team works entirely on the exterior of your property. You won't lose a single inch of your living room, and your daily routine stays exactly as it is. We take immense pride in our clean and tidy workmanship, ensuring we protect your garden and driveway while we work. Based right here in the area, we've been helping neighbours across Mid Sussex transform their homes for over a decade, and we'd love to do the same for yours.

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.
