External Wall Insulation Services

Technical assessment and system specification based on wall construction, exposure conditions and performance requirements.

EWI - System Specification & Design

Warm Wall has over 15 years of experience working with external wall insulation systems across the UK. This background allows us to approach each project in Northampton and Northamptonshire with a clear understanding of how different substrates behave, how older brickwork and solid‑wall properties respond to insulation, and how local exposure conditions affect long‑term performance. Our focus is strictly on external wall insulation — we do not extend into damp proofing or unrelated services.

Every project begins with assessing the existing building fabric, identifying substrate issues and selecting the appropriate EPS or Mineral Wool system for the property. We look at substrate condition, moisture behaviour, fire performance requirements, thermal bridging risks and wind‑driven rain exposure — factors that are particularly relevant for many homes in Northamptonshire’s housing stock, especially solid‑wall buildings and properties with ageing render.

Each installation includes mechanical fixings, a reinforced basecoat, silicone render and careful detailing around openings, sills, eaves, corners and service penetrations. Attention to these junctions is essential for long‑term stability, particularly on solid‑wall homes where detailing plays a major role in overall performance.

All work is carried out in accordance with PAS 2030, manufacturer guidance and UK exposure requirements. When specified correctly, external wall insulation improves thermal performance, reduces heating demand, stabilises internal temperatures and protects the building envelope from moisture ingress. For many Northampton and Northamptonshire properties — especially solid‑wall homes built before cavity walls became standard — proper system specification is key to achieving durable, reliable results.

Working in Partnership with Established UK Suppliers

We work in partnership with suppliers such as SPS Envirowall, EWI Pro, Mapei and other recognised system manufacturers, giving us access to certified external wall insulation systems with proven long-term performance. Using recognised supplier systems ensures material consistency, reliable render finishes and compatibility with UK exposure conditions — essential for solid-wall homes, older properties and larger retrofit projects across Northampton and wider Northamptonshire.

Our installation work is delivered by trained, certified installers and is monitored through UKAS-accredited certification schemes, providing independent oversight of system specification, detailing and on-site installation. All work is carried out in full compliance with PAS 2030, the core standard for energy-efficiency retrofit.

We install EPS and mineral wool external wall insulation systems across a wide range of building types, including private houses, solid-wall terraces, larger residential blocks and selected commercial properties. This combination of certified materials, regulated installation processes and a technical, specification-led approach allows us to deliver external wall insulation that performs reliably over the long term.
