The challenge
The owners had repainted the pebbledash twice in seven years and were seeing recurring damp on the north-facing gable. Conventional EWI quotes came in over £18k and required scaffolding for three weeks.
Our solution
Two cross-coats of 4 mm CorkSol SprayCork in Cotswold Cream applied directly over cleaned, primed pebbledash. Hairline cracks bridged during prep, no scaffolding needed beyond first-lift.
Results
- 30% improvement in wall U-value (measured pre/post)
- Damp patches fully resolved at 12-month check
- Completed in 3 working days vs 3 weeks for EWI
- 25-year manufacturer warranty issued
"The transformation is unreal. House looks brand new, and the back bedroom finally feels warm in January."
