External Wall Insulation in Fleetwood
External Wall Insulation across Fleetwood (FY7), about ten minutes up the coast from us.
External Wall Insulation for Fleetwood Homes
Much of Fleetwood was built with solid brick walls: no cavity, nothing between your living room and the sea wind but nine inches of brick. External wall insulation fixes that from the outside. Insulation boards go onto the wall, then a fresh render system goes over the top, so you get a warmer house and a new finish in one job.
In a town this exposed the difference is easy to feel. The rooms hold their heat instead of dumping it through cold walls, heating bills come down, and condensation and mould on outside walls ease off because the inner face of the wall stays warmer. The whole lot gets finished in silicone or monocouche, so it looks like a new house too.

- Solid-wall terraces that are cold within an hour of the heating going off
- Black mould in the corners of rooms on the windiest side of the house
- Condensation streaming down windows and walls through winter
- Gable walls that feel damp to the touch after a week of rain
- Heating running all day just to keep the chill off
For the old fishing-days terraces and the draughtier post-war houses, insulated render is the biggest single upgrade you can make to a Fleetwood home. Warmer rooms, lower bills, drier walls and a fresh weatherproof finish, all from one team, fully insured.
Where We Cover in Fleetwood
Fleetwood's housing tells the story of the town. The streets near the docks and the front are full of Victorian and Edwardian terraces built in the fishing days, most of them solid brick with bay fronts. Around the Mount you get bigger period properties, and further out at Larkholme and Rossall it's mainly post-war semis and bungalows, plenty of them pebble dashed or roughcast when they were built.
Then there's the exposure. With the Irish Sea to the west and the Wyre estuary to the east, there's no sheltered side of Fleetwood. Salt spray, constant wind and driving rain find any weak spot in a wall, which is why render here fails faster than anywhere else we work. We also cross the estuary regularly for jobs in Knott End, Preesall, Hambleton and Stalmine.
We work right across Fleetwood, including The Mount area, Rossall and Larkholme, and out into the surrounding towns and villages.

External Wall Insulation Questions
More than a straight render, because there's the boards and an extra stage of work on top of the normal system. As a rough anchor, rendering alone on a typical 3-bed semi runs £3,000 to £6,000, and an insulated system sits above that. We survey the house and give you a free written quote, usually within 48 hours, so you get a real number, not a guess.
Longer than render on its own. Most straight rendering jobs take 3 to 7 days, and fitting boards adds an extra stage before the mesh, basecoat and finish go on. The exact timescale depends on the size of the house and the weather, so we put it in writing with your quote.
Usually, yes, with a bit of planning. The boards can go on in most conditions. It's the basecoat and finish that need reasonable temperatures and a dry window to cure properly, so we watch the forecast and won't spray a top coat in frost or driving rain. After more than 15 years working this coast, we're used to planning around the weather.
