Before we quote in Consett
We cover Consett and nearby Stanley, Newburn and Chester-le-Street. Consett is about 25 miles from Darlington. The North East has many solid brick terraces, including former colliery housing, plus post-war council estates with some system-built homes.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across County Durham: sheltered town streets fare better than walls on high ground or facing the prevailing weather, and the render, beads and cill details are chosen with that in mind.
We plan internal insulation in Consett homes room by room so you keep the rest of the house usable.

Approvals in England
Planning isn't usually involved with internal insulation. Building control is, once more than half of a wall is treated, and listed buildings need listed building consent.
What are the options for internal insulation?
- Insulated plasterboard — PIR or phenolic foam bonded to plasterboard, fixed to the wall and skimmed. Thinnest option.
- Insulated stud wall — a timber or metal frame filled with insulation, with a vapour control layer and plasterboard. Takes more space but runs services easily.
- Wood fibre and lime — breathable boards finished in lime plaster, for older walls that need to manage moisture.

Internal wall insulation in Consett: questions
What happens to my radiators and sockets?
They're taken off and refitted on the new wall face. Electrical work is done by a qualified electrician.
Can I stay in the house?
Yes, but each room is out of use while it's worked on, typically 3–5 days.
Is internal insulation cheaper than external?
Per m² usually yes, but the cost of moving fittings and redecorating narrows the gap on whole-house jobs.
