Why older Bristol houses lose more heat
Many homes in Bristol built before the early 1920s are more likely to have solid walls rather than cavity walls. Solid walls typically allow more heat to pass through than insulated cavity construction. This can lead to higher heating bills in Bristol and rooms that feel cold even when the heating is on.
This is where external wall insulation in Bristol can be a strong option. Insulating solid walls from the outside and finishing with a durable render can make a noticeable difference.

A typical external wall insulation and render system in Bristol involves:
1) External insulation boards fixed to the walls

2) Reinforced basecoat and mesh
