Whitehall · BS5External Wall Insulation
Whitehall is an inner-east Bristol suburb of predominantly Victorian terraces, sitting between St George and Speedwell.
Whitehall's 1930s semis are solid 9-inch brick — too cold for modern heating bills. EWI with 90mm graphite EPS brings the U-value down from around 1.7 W/m²K to 0.30 or below, and the silicone top coat keeps maintenance low for the next 25 years.
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.
Whitehall is the inner-east Bristol suburb that sits between St George and Speedwell — close enough to the city centre to be a popular commuter area, far enough east to have the working-class character of east Bristol. The housing is dominated by Victorian and Edwardian terraces, mostly two-up two-downs with rendered front elevations. Like St George, many of these were originally lime-rendered and many have been unsympathetically painted. We work on whole streets here — homeowners often coordinate to get consistent finishes.
If any of these sound like your property, this is the service you want.

Condensation and mould on inside walls
Cold spots around window reveals and corners
No cavity to fill (solid wall construction)

Verified reviews from recent work.
I recently had plastering done by KD Plastering Services, and I couldn't be happier with the results. From the initial consultation through to completion, the team was punctual, professional, and meticulous. The walls now have a flawlessly smooth finish - no imperfections. Work areas were kept tidy throughout, and the final cleanup was discreet and thorough. The pricing felt fair and transparent, with no hidden surprises.
Had our front rendering replaced to colour if our choice - great work Kyran and team, completed in a timely manner and with gd communication, meeting in person at quote stage also helped!
Kyran turned up on short notice after I was let down by another plasterer, clean, tidy, fantastic job! Will be using again on future jobs!
