Home Insulation

Small holes are drilled in the outside wall into which a specialised insulation product is injected or blown.
Once the walls have been filled with the insulation product, the holes in the brickwork are sealed/rendered, leaving them barely visible. It takes around two hours to complete the job depending on the size of the property.

In order to know if your property is suitable for cavity wall insulation, the first thing you need to find out is what sort of walls you have.
If you can see the brickwork on the outside of the house, look at the pattern of the bricks.

If your home has cavity walls, the bricks will usually have a consistent pattern with all the bricks laid lengthways.

If your home has solid walls, the bricks usually have an alternating pattern, with some bricks laid across the wall so you can see the smaller ends from the outside.

Some houses have a different type of wall structure altogether. If your house is a steel-frame or timber-framed building or is made from pre-fabricated concrete, then you will need to ask a specialist insulation installer to advise you.

Loft Insulation is suitable for all types of property.
Although ultimately, its effectiveness depends on where it is installed and the type used.

Typically, loft insulation costs between £500-£1800.
The cost of loft insulation usually depends on the size of your loft and the type of insulation to be installed. If you, or someone you live with claims a benefit then you may be entitled to a grant that will cover a proportion or all of the cost of the installation – please contact us for more details.

Loft insulation goes on and in between the joists on the loft floor.
Roof insulation is installed into the eves of the roof. Roof insulation is usually carried out if you have converted your loft into a room. Typical roof insulation materials are rigid insulation boards which you place between the rafters, foam or loose fill. Once in place, any of these can be plaster-boarded over and decorated to your taste.

High Efficiency: For every unit of electricity used, an air-source heat pump can deliver up to 3 units of heat, making it up to 300% more efficient than a typical gas boiler.

Lower Running Costs: Homes switching from old electric heating can save up to £1,000 per year, while those replacing oil boilers may save around £500 per year (Energy Saving Trust, 2024).

Government Support: Under the Boiler Upgrade Scheme, you can get a £7,500 grant towards the cost of installing an ASHP in England and Wales.

Installing an air source heat pump not only improves energy efficiency, it will also help boost your home’s value and aid in meeting upcoming UK building and energy regulations focused on net-zero targets by 2050.

Solar panels are one of the smartest investments UK homeowners can make — for your wallet and the world. With energy prices climbing and the push for sustainability stronger than ever, there’s never been a better time to harness the power of the sun.

Solar panels work by capturing the sun’s energy using photovoltaic cells. These cells generate electricity by converting sunlight into power, which is then used to run home appliances and lighting.

Yes: Installing solar panels can save the average UK home between £300 and £600 per year on electricity (Energy Saving Trust, 2024)

Yes: Through the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), you can sell excess electricity back to the grid, providing an extra income stream.

External wall insulation involves fixing a layer of insulation material to the external walls of your property. This is then covered with reinforcement and a special type of render.

The final process utilises a wide choice of textured finishes, brick slips or brick effect render to transform the look of your property. However, the real benefits are how warm your home will feel and how much money you will save on your energy bills! Here you can see how Westville completely transformed a weather-worn two-storey cottage in Nottinghamshire into a stunning, energy-efficient home.

Is the outside of your home looking somewhat neglected, tired and in need of a little renovation? Does it feel cold in the winter or suffer from damp, mould or mildew? Would you like to save around £460 a year on utility bills? If the answer is “YES”, you should consider our 25-year guaranteed External Wall Insulation, which solves all three in one simple solution!

External Wall Insulation has many benefits, including lowering your heating bills. As the process raises the temperature of your internal walls, you will use fewer fossil fuels, reducing your carbon emissions. In addition, as we increase the thermal efficiency of your walls by around 85%, you are likely to see a dramatic reduction in condensation, helping to prevent dampness & mould. 

Here you can see Westville’s work in Bilborough which involved carrying out a full strip of a BISF house and installing full external wall insulation. This brought the home back to life and made a huge difference in its thermal performance.

You get to choose, as we offer a wide range of stunning protective finishes, such as pebble dash, textured, brick effect render or brick slips.

Whatever your choice, we will ensure that your chosen finish holds up to the same high standards that we set ourselves with every service we offer.
