FAQs

A full installation typically takes 2–3 weeks, depending on property size and weather. This includes preparation, fixing insulation, applying render coats, and refitting any fixtures. Most homes can continue to function normally during the process.

Breathability refers to a material’s ability to allow moisture to pass through without trapping it inside walls.

• A breathable system, like woodfibre, prevents damp and interstitial condensation (moisture forming within wall layers), protecting your home while maintaining energy efficiency.

Interstitial condensation occurs when moisture forms inside a wall’s fabric, often between insulation and existing walls. Using the correct materials and installation methods prevents this — our breathable, vapour-open insulation systems allow moisture to escape safely, keeping your walls dry and healthy.

Most homeowners notice improved comfort immediately. Walls feel warmer and heating bills often drop within the first few months. The full energy efficiency gains are measurable over the first winter after installation.

It’s possible to insulate a single wall, but the benefits will be limited compared to a whole-house approach. A partial retrofit can improve comfort in one area, but it may also leave other walls colder, which can increase the risk of condensation at junctions. We usually recommend planning insulation as part of a whole-house strategy, even if it’s completed in stages — that way, each improvement works together for the best long-term results.

We work in most conditions, but extreme rain or freezing conditions can slow the rendering and curing stages. We always plan installation schedules to ensure the materials are applied in suitable conditions, protecting both the finish and the long-term performance.

Yes. Our quotes include everything required for the full installation, such as:

• Scaffolding and safe access

• Removing and reinstating pipes, cables, and other fittings

• Extending window sills where necessary

• Clearing and responsibly disposing of all waste once the project is complete

We take care of every stage of the process so you don’t have to arrange or coordinate anything separately.
