External Wall Insulation in Croydon
Croydon's housing is overwhelmingly Victorian and Edwardian terraces with solid 9-inch brick walls — meaning external or internal wall insulation usually delivers the biggest energy savings. The 1930s semi-detached belt around Shirley and Addiscombe is also prime EWI territory.

Croydon's solid-wall Victorian and Edwardian terraces and the 1930s semis around Shirley and Addiscombe are where EWI makes the biggest difference; the survey confirms the wall type and any conservation restrictions first.

Why Croydon homes benefit from external wall insulation
Real comfort improvement
Most Croydon homes lose 25-35% of their heat through uninsulated walls or roofs. External Wall Insulation cuts that loss dramatically and eliminates the cold spots and draughts that drive heating costs up.
Lower bills
Savings depend on the starting point, the measure and your tariff, so we give you an honest estimate at survey rather than a headline figure. Loft and floor insulation pay back fastest; wall insulation saves the most on solid-wall homes.
Adds value
Insulation lifts the Energy Performance Certificate score, which buyers and lenders see, and landlords need a good EPC to keep letting. We lodge the work with TrustMark so it is on record when you sell.
