Specialist Non-Traditional Build Insulation in Rhisga and Risca

If you live in a non-traditional home in Rhisga or Risca, you are likely all too familiar with the challenges of keeping your property warm. Buildings such as Cornish units, Airey houses, and Wimpey no-fines concrete homes were built for speed, not for modern thermal efficiency. At Global Energy Insulation, we specialise in bringing these unique structures up to modern standards. Serving the Caerphilly area and beyond, we provide the expert thermal retrofitting you need to tackle heat loss and sky-high energy bills.

Why Choose Our Non-Traditional Build Insulation Services?

Why do non-traditional homes struggle with heat loss?

The primary issue with many post-war non-traditional builds is the lack of effective thermal performance in the walls. These structures often lack the cavity or insulation required to prevent heat from escaping directly through the building envelope. This causes significant thermal bridging, where cold spots develop on internal walls, leading to persistent issues with condensation and black mould. By choosing our professional insulation services, you are not just warming your home; you are protecting the fabric of the building and improving your long-term energy efficiency.

Our approach to PAS 2035 and building compliance

We take the complexity out of property upgrades by strictly adhering to PAS 2035 whole-house retrofit standards. As a PAS 2030 accredited company, we manage the technical requirements of your project, from the initial assessment to the final handover. Whether you are a homeowner wanting to reduce your monthly costs or a landlord needing to meet the latest MEES requirements for an HMO or rental, our team ensures your property meets all necessary UK building regulations. We handle everything from the planning considerations for altering your home's exterior to the final safety documentation.

How we improve your home with expert EWI and rendering

Our solution for most non-traditional builds involves high-performance External Wall Insulation (EWI). This process wraps your home in a protective thermal blanket, stopping heat loss at the source and allowing the building to retain warmth throughout the winter months. Once the insulation is installed, we provide a durable, weather-resistant finish. Through our partnership with our sister company, Global Plastering, we ensure that every internal and external finish meets the highest quality standards, leaving you with a home that is as beautiful as it is energy-efficient.

Non-Traditional Build Insulation FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Expert answers to common questions about PAS 2035 compliant insulation, eliminating heat loss, and upgrading the thermal efficiency of Wimpey No-Fines, Cornish units, and steel-frame homes in South Wales and South West England and across South Wales.

Can you insulate a Wimpey no-fines house?

+

Yes. Wimpey no-fines houses are ideal candidates for External Wall Insulation. Because they lack a traditional cavity, EWI is the best way to add thermal mass to the building. This stops the "fridge effect" where the concrete walls hold the cold and radiate it into your living rooms.

Do I need planning permission for External Wall Insulation?

+

In many cases, EWI falls under "Permitted Development." However, if the finish changes the appearance of the house significantly or if you are in a conservation area, you might need approval. We can guide you through this process and help with the necessary paperwork.

What is a SWIGA guarantee and why does it matter?

+

The Solid Wall Insulation Guarantee Agency (SWIGA) provides a 25-year insurance-backed guarantee on EWI installations. This means that even if a contractor ceases trading, your investment is protected. It is a vital trust signal that many mortgage lenders look for on non-traditional properties.
