Fully managed retrofit programmes that help housing providers reduce heat loss, improve resident comfort and support wider decarbonisation goals. From initial surveys and technical design through to installation, quality assurance and handover, we provide a complete turnkey service.

What is External Wall Insulation?

External Wall Insulation involves installing a layer of insulation to the outside of a building before applying a protective decorative finish.

This helps to:

• Improve thermal performance
• Reduce heat loss
• Lower energy consumption
• Improve resident comfort
• Enhance the appearance of buildings
• Protect external walls from weather damage
  
  

EWI is particularly effective on properties with solid walls that do not have cavity insulation and forms a key part of many social housing retrofit programmes.

What are Brick Slip Systems?

Brick slips are thin sections of real brick applied as part of an external wall insulation system, creating the appearance of traditional brickwork without the cost and weight of a full brick façade.

They offer:

• A traditional brick finish
• Enhanced kerb appeal
• Improved durability
• Planning-friendly solutions in many locations
• Long-term protection for the building envelope
  
  

Brick slip systems are often selected where housing providers want to improve energy performance while maintaining the character of existing homes and communities.
