Keep Horsham homes warm and bills low

If you have ever sat in your living room during a cold West Sussex winter with the heating on full blast and still felt a nip in the air, you are not alone. Many homeowners we speak to in Horsham find that their older properties simply cannot hold onto the heat. That is usually because heat is escaping right through the walls. At Portslade Plastering, we specialise in External Wall Insulation (EWI), which is essentially like giving your house a high-performance thermal jacket. It is one of the most effective ways to stop throwing money out of the window and finally enjoy a home that stays toasty all year round. Whether you are in a Victorian terrace near the town centre or a detached home in the Horsham suburbs, our team is here to help you save on energy costs. Give us a call on 01273 957212 to chat about how we can transform your home.

Why Choose Portslade Plastering for External Wall Insulation in Southwick?

Stop heat escaping through solid walls

Does your property have solid walls? If it was built before the 1920s, the chances are it does not have a cavity that can be filled with standard insulation. This is where External Wall Insulation really shines. By fixing a layer of high-quality insulation boards—like EPS or Mineral Wool—to the outside of your brickwork, we create a continuous thermal barrier. This process drastically lowers your property's U-value, which is just a technical way of saying it stops heat from leaking out. We pay close attention to thermal bridging, making sure those pesky cold spots around windows and corners are completely eliminated. It is a game-changer for Horsham residents looking to improve their property's EPC rating and overall comfort.

Approved PRB Systems installers in West Sussex

We believe in doing things right the first time, which is why we are proud Approved PRB Systems Contractors. When we work on your Horsham home, we are using premium, high-performance renders that are designed to last. These systems are not just about warmth; they provide incredible coastal weatherproofing against the unpredictable Sussex weather. Because the render is through-coloured, you will not have to worry about the paint peeling or having to get the ladders out every few years for a refresh. It is a low-maintenance, durable solution that protects the very structure of your building from damp and driving rain.

Improve your property kerb appeal

Let's be honest, we all want our homes to look great. Beyond the massive energy savings, EWI completely refreshes the look of your house. We offer a variety of finishes, from Silicone Render to Monocouche, available in a wide range of colours. Imagine your tired or cracked exterior being replaced with a crisp, modern, and clean finish that makes it look like a brand-new build. Many of our Horsham customers are amazed at how much a professional EWI installation increases their property's aesthetics and market value. It is the ultimate home improvement that pays for itself through lower heating bills and a much more attractive exterior.

Minimal disruption with external solutions

One of the biggest questions we get is, "How much mess will there be?" The beauty of External Wall Insulation is that all the work happens outside. Unlike internal insulation, we do not need to move your furniture, take down your radiators, or mess up your skirting boards. You do not lose a single centimetre of floor space inside your rooms, which is a huge plus in smaller properties. Our team prides itself on being tidy and respectful; we treat your property like it is our own, ensuring the site is kept clean throughout the process. We have been helping neighbours across the Horsham area for years, and we know how important it is to keep your daily life running smoothly while we work.

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.
