As EWI PRO and CorkSol approved installers, we design and install complete external wall insulation systems to improve thermal efficiency while protecting and enhancing the exterior of your property. Each project is tailored to the building’s construction, ensuring dependable, long-term performance. The result is a warmer, more comfortable home, reduced heat loss and a full external upgrade.

We’re happy to assess your property and advise whether EWI is suitable, or if an alternative solution would be more appropriate.
External Wall Insulation Options
Many homes in Guildford particularly solid wall and traditionally built properties, suffer from cold internal surfaces, condensation and high heating costs. There is more than one way to improve wall performance, and the most suitable solution depends on your property’s construction, condition and budget. At PlasterSmart, we provide two main external wall insulation solutions in Guildford and can advise on which system is best suited to your home following a site assessment.
External Wall Insulation Systems
External wall insulation involves fixing insulation boards to the outside of the property and finishing them with a reinforced render system. This type of system is commonly used on solid wall and traditionally built homes in
Guildford to improve thermal performance.
By insulating the building externally, heat loss through the walls is reduced, helping to create warmer internal surfaces and improved comfort throughout the home.
PlasterSmart are EWI Pro approved installers, using manufacturer-specified external wall insulation systems designed for long-term performance and durability. This ensures each installation is carried out correctly and built to last.
External wall insulation is often chosen by homeowners in Guildford and the surrounding Surrey areas as part of full exterior upgrades, providing both improved energy efficiency and a complete transformation of the property’s appearance.
Key benefits of external wall insulation
• Improves thermal efficiency and reduces heat loss
• Creates warmer, more comfortable living spaces
• Enhances and protects the exterior of the property
• Long-lasting system when installed to specification
the property’s appearance.
Spray Cork Insulated Render
Spray cork insulated render is a thinner, cork-based thermal coating that can be applied directly to suitable backgrounds or, in some cases, over existing stable render. It provides a breathable and flexible solution that helps improve wall surface temperature while refreshing the external appearance of the property.
At PlasterSmart, we are CorkSol approved installers, using manufacturer-specified spray cork systems backed by a 25-year warranty. This ensures the system is applied correctly and performs as intended long term.
Spray cork is commonly chosen for properties in Guildford where a full external wall insulation system is not required, or where a thinner, more breathable external upgrade is preferred. It can also be used as an overspray to protect ageing render and help manage hairline cracking.
This system offers an effective balance between thermal improvement, durability and appearance, making it a popular option for many homes across Guildford and the surrounding Surrey areas.

Key benefits of spray cork insulated render
• Breathable and moisture-tolerant system
• Flexible finish that accommodates movement
• Improves wall surface temperature and comfort

• Backed by a 25-year CorkSol warranty
Every property in Guildford is different. The most suitable solution depends on wall construction, moisture movement, existing render condition and the level of insulation required.
We assess each property individually and advise whether full external wall insulation or a cork-based thermal render system is the most appropriate option for your home.
