Oadby Home Transformation: External Wall Insulation Case Study

Oadby, Leicester (LE2)  •  50mm EWI System  •  Silicone Render Finish

145m² Total Wall Area  •  10-Year Insurance-Backed Guarantee  •  Free Site Survey

The Challenge

This semi-detached property in Oadby, Leicester still featured its original facing brickwork, which provided little thermal insulation and left the home looking dated compared to neighbouring properties.

The homeowners wanted to improve both the appearance and energy efficiency of the property while creating a modern, maintenance-free finish that would remain looking clean for years to come.

As with all of our projects, we carried out a detailed site survey before recommending the most suitable insulation thickness and rendering system.

The Site Survey

Our team completed a full measured survey of the property to accurately scope the installation.

Following the survey, we produced a detailed quotation covering all materials, labour, trims, reinforcement mesh, scaffolding and waste removal with no hidden costs.

The Solution: 50mm External Wall Insulation System

To improve thermal performance and completely modernise the appearance of the property, we recommended our 50mm EPS External Wall Insulation system finished with a premium silicone render.

Improved Energy Efficiency
