External Wall Insulation in Abergavenny
EWI systems that insulate solid walls externally and finish them in a warranted render topcoat.
Our external wall insulation work in Abergavenny starts with a free survey, because guessing at a render specification is how jobs go wrong.
The prevailing picture in Gwent is valley terraces, stone cottages and postwar estate housing. That means damp in solid-wall valley terraces and failed cement render comes up more here than almost anywhere else.
With high rainfall with sheltered valley conditions, specification matters more in this part of the country than a national price list suggests. The valleys hold moisture and see limited sun on north-facing slopes, so algae and persistent damp are more common here than the rainfall alone would suggest.
When external wall insulation is the right call. Choose EWI on solid-wall, no-fines or non-traditional construction where you want a genuine thermal upgrade rather than just a new finish.

FAQs
External Wall Insulation in Abergavenny
Do I need planning permission for EWI?
Often not on a standard house, but you will if it is listed, in a conservation area, or if it alters the appearance significantly. We advise before starting.
How much does rendering cost?
It is priced by the square metre and depends on the system, the condition of the walls and access. Our guide-price tool gives an indicative range in about a minute, and the survey turns that into a fixed written quote.
Do you offer a guarantee?
Yes. Every job carries our workmanship guarantee, and where a full manufacturer-specified system is installed you also get the system warranty on top.
What time of year is best for rendering?
Spring through autumn is ideal. Render should not be applied in frost or in very hot direct sun, so winter work needs protection and settled conditions.
Can you render over existing render?
Sometimes, if the existing coat is completely sound and well-bonded. We hammer-test it first. Anything hollow has to come off, because covering failure just hides it.
