Protecting Your Home with Breathable Heritage Solutions

Traditional buildings are designed to breathe, and improper insulation can lead to trapped moisture, damp, and long-term damage. Our approach focuses on using breathable, high-performance materials that provide effective thermal bridging solutions for solid stone and brick walls. By using techniques aligned with PAS 2035 standards, we ensure your property remains moisture-managed while significantly reducing heat loss. Our team carefully assesses the fabric of your home to select the best insulation methods that respect original features and architectural heritage.

Navigating Listed Building Consent and Compliance

We take the complexity out of upgrading historic homes by handling the technical details for you. Whether you are aiming for an EPC improvement to meet MEES standards or simply looking to lower your heating bills, our PAS 2030 accredited team works within the necessary regulatory frameworks. We have extensive experience with local authority requirements and listed building consent, ensuring that all retrofits meet current building regulations while preserving the historical significance of your property in Portishead.

Complete Restoration with Expert Plastering Services

A high-quality insulation retrofit is only as good as the finish applied afterwards. Because we offer a complete end-to-end service, our sister company, Global Plastering, provides traditional plastering techniques specifically suited to period properties. Whether your home features lath and plaster or requires careful restoration to match existing mouldings and finishes, we ensure the aesthetic integrity of your rooms is fully restored after our thermal upgrades are complete.

Heritage Property FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about breathable historic building insulation, thermal bridging solutions, and PAS 2035 compliance across South Wales and South West England and South Wales.

Do I need planning permission to insulate my listed building in Ferndale?

+

Yes, in most cases, you will need Listed Building Consent for internal or external wall insulation. Because these works change the thickness of the walls or the materials used, local planning officers want to see that the heritage of the building is being protected. We can help provide the technical details needed for your application.

Why shouldn't I use cheap foam insulation on an old stone wall?

+

Old buildings were designed to be "breathable." Moisture travels through the stones and mortar and evaporates. If you put non-breathable foam against the wall, you trap that moisture. This leads to "interstitial condensation," which rots floor joists and causes damp patches. We use breathable wood fibre or mineral wool to keep your walls healthy.

Will I lose the original features like my coving or skirting boards?

+

We do everything we can to preserve the character of your home. Sometimes this involves carefully removing and reinstating skirting boards or using thinner, high-performance insulation in areas with intricate decorative features. Our partnership with Global Plastering allows us to replicate traditional finishes so your home looks exactly as it should—only warmer.

How long does it take to insulate a period property?

+

Every building is unique, but a typical internal wall insulation project for a terraced house usually takes between one and two weeks. This includes the preparation, the insulation fixings, and the specialist lime plastering finish.
