What the job covers
- External insulation keeps room sizes and treats cold bridges well
- 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
- Internal insulation suits single rooms or where the outside can't change
What we look for in Littlehampton
We also cover Bognor Regis and Worthing, close to Littlehampton. Littlehampton is about 26 miles from Crawley. Homes across the South East range from inter-war semis and post-war estates, which are mostly cavity-walled, to older solid-walled cottages and Victorian town terraces.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across West Sussex: 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 Littlehampton, we check wall thickness and age first to confirm there's no cavity to fill.

Planning and building control in England
Planning in Littlehampton 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.
If the work covers more than half of a wall, or a quarter of the building's whole envelope, it counts as renovating a thermal element, with a target of about 0.30 W/m²K where feasible.
External or internal — which is better?
External insulation keeps the wall warm, reduces cold bridging at floors and party walls, renews the outside, and doesn't shrink rooms — but it changes the look and needs scaffolding. Internal insulation keeps the façade unchanged and can be done room by room, but loses 50–100mm of floor space per wall and needs careful detailing to avoid condensation at joists and corners.

Solid wall insulation in Littlehampton: questions
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.
Can I do one wall at a time?
Yes. Many owners start with the coldest or most exposed elevation, often a gable end.

Yes — we survey and quote solid wall insulation in Littlehampton (BN17) and nearby Bognor Regis, Worthing and Chichester, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
