Help reduce heat loss through your solid walls with manufacturer-backed EWI systems. Modern render finish, installed by 20+ year Yorkshire specialists.
The complete solution for solid wall Leeds homes
External wall insulation (EWI) involves fixing insulation boards to the outside of your home's walls, then covering with a protective render finish. This creates a thermal envelope that dramatically reduces heat loss - the single most effective improvement you can make to a solid wall property in Leeds.
Leeds has thousands of Victorian, Edwardian, and pre-1920s properties with solid walls - no cavity for insulation. Solid walls typically lose substantially more heat than insulated cavity walls, though the exact loss depends on your wall construction, materials, and current condition.
EWI delivers two benefits in one project: it helps reduce heat loss through your walls, and it transforms your property's exterior with a modern render finish (available in a wide range of colours). Some Leeds households may also qualify for ECO4 or LA Flex grant funding — eligibility varies, and we'll check what's available for your property at no cost.
Render systems typically have a lifespan of 20+ years when installed properly. Energy savings depend on your property — we'll talk through realistic expectations during your free site visit.
Eight compelling reasons to invest in EWI
EWI can help reduce heat loss through solid walls — most Leeds Victorian, Edwardian, and pre-1920s homes have no cavity. Actual savings depend on your property, heating habits, and energy costs. We'll explain what's realistic for your home during a free site visit.
Eliminate cold spots, drafts, and that never-warm feeling in solid wall properties. Even temperature throughout rooms. Reduced condensation and damp issues. Comfort you can feel immediately.
EWI can help improve your home's EPC rating — useful for owner-occupiers and important for landlords meeting minimum energy efficiency standards. Improvement varies by property starting point.
EWI can help reduce a home's carbon footprint through lower energy use. Actual reduction depends on your property and energy mix. Contributes to lower household emissions in line with Leeds 2030 carbon goals.
ECO4 and LA Flex grants may cover some or all of the cost for eligible Leeds households — eligibility varies based on income, benefits, EPC rating, and property type. We'll check what applies to your property at no cost.
