What's included
- Solid walls can lose heat roughly twice as fast as an insulated cavity wall
- Both can be done in stages, elevation by elevation or room by room
- External insulation keeps room sizes and treats cold bridges well
- In England and Wales, Building Regulations apply when more than half of a wall is treated
Local considerations in Felling
We also cover Gateshead and Newcastle upon Tyne, close to Felling. Felling is about 2 miles from Newcastle upon Tyne. 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 Tyne and Wear: 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.
For solid-walled homes in Felling, we check wall thickness and age first to confirm there's no cavity to fill.

Planning and building control in England
Planning in Felling follows England's national rules: similar-looking finishes on houses are usually permitted, while flats, commercial premises, conservation areas and streets under an Article 4 direction need an application.
Insulating or re-rendering more than half of a wall's area brings in Part L of the Building Regulations, so building control is notified and the wall is upgraded to about 0.30 W/m²K where practical.
What does solid wall insulation cost?
External systems run at roughly £105–£210 per m² of wall depending on the board and finish. Internal insulation is roughly £75–£130 per m², plus the cost of moving radiators, sockets and kitchen units.

Solid wall insulation in Felling: questions
Can I get a grant for solid wall insulation?
Some schemes cover it for eligible households — for example ECO4 until 31 December 2026, Home Energy Scotland's grant and loan, Wales' Warm Homes Nest and NI's Affordable Warmth Scheme. Each has its own eligibility and installer rules; see our grants guide.
Does solid wall insulation cause condensation?
It can if detailed poorly, particularly internally. A condensation risk check for the proposed build-up and careful detailing at joists, reveals and corners avoid it.
Is solid wall insulation worth it?
For many solid-walled homes it's one of the biggest single improvements to comfort, because the walls are often the largest heat-loss area. Savings depend on the home and heating, so we don't promise a figure.
