External Wall Insulation in
Kingswood

Kingswood's 1930s semis are mostly solid-wall — cavity fill isn't an option because there is no cavity. EWI is the right answer for these properties. We install 90mm graphite EPS with silicone top coat.

If your Bristol home was built before 1990, chances are it has no cavity wall insulation and minimal loft insulation. The result: heat loss through the walls (up to 35% of your total heat loss), cold spots around window reveals, condensation on inside walls, and high energy bills. External Wall Insulation fixes all of this in one go. We fix 80-150mm of high-performance insulation board to the outside of your property, then apply a reinforced base coat and a silicone or monocouche render finish. The result: a 25-35% reduction in heating bills, elimination of condensation, and a fresh modern exterior. EWI typically pays for itself in 8-12 years through energy savings. We install Weber, K Rend and Johnstone's EWI systems.

Kingswood is technically in South Gloucestershire but functions as a Bristol suburb. The high street is one of the longest local high streets in the Bristol area, and the residential streets radiating out from it are where most of our work happens. The 1930s semis are the dominant property type — larger and more imposing than Hanham's, often with bay windows, multiple chimney stacks, and original sand-and-cement render that's now well past its sell-by date. The newer estates on the edges (around Soundwell, Staple Hill and the Cadbury Heath border) have 1960s-80s detached and semi-detached, with pebbledash that needs stripping. We render roughly 15-20 Kingswood properties a year.
