How do we preserve historic character while improving energy efficiency?

We recognise that older buildings need to breathe to remain structurally sound. Our approach focuses on using high-performance, vapour-permeable materials such as wood fibre boards and aerogel insulation. These products are specifically selected for solid wall properties to manage moisture effectively and prevent the damp problems often associated with inappropriate modern insulation methods. By choosing our PAS 2035 compliant solutions, you ensure your property remains protected against thermal bridging while gaining a significantly more comfortable living environment.

Meeting conservation standards and local authority requirements

Navigating the regulations for listed buildings or properties within a conservation area can be daunting. Our team acts as your expert guide, helping you understand how to achieve essential energy efficiency improvements while respecting the heritage of your home. Whether you are dealing with a Grade II listed property or an older Edwardian or Victorian home, we provide the technical expertise required to manage the planning and consent process. We ensure all work meets current UK building regulations and the stringent PAS 2035 whole-house retrofit standards, giving you complete peace of mind.

The benefits of our integrated heritage service

A key advantage of working with Global Energy Insulation is our ability to provide an end-to-end service alongside our sister company, Global Plastering. Once your internal wall insulation is installed, we provide expert, authentic lime plaster finishes. This ensures that the aesthetic integrity of your interior walls is maintained using traditional techniques that are compatible with historic masonry.

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.
