What is Internal Wall Insulation?

Internal Wall Insulation (IWI) transforms cold, solid brick Yorkshire properties by adding insulation boards to the inside of external walls. Perfect for Victorian terraces and period homes built before 1930, IWI can improve your EPC rating from E or F to C while eliminating damp, cold spots, and condensation issues.



Our professional installation creates a warm, dry living environment while preserving your property's external character. The process involves fitting rigid insulation boards with vapor barriers, then finishing with plasterboard ready for decoration. Typical installation takes 2-3 days per room with dramatic improvements in comfort and energy efficiency.

Why might you need internal wall insulation?

Yorkshire's Victorian and Edwardian properties often have solid brick walls that create cold, damp, expensive-to-heat homes. If your property was built before 1930, here are the warning signs you need internal wall insulation:

Internal walls feel cold to touch, especially during Yorkshire winters

High energy bills despite heating being on constantly throughout winter

Solid brick construction with no cavity for traditional insulation methods

Property located in conservation area where external insulation isn't permitted

Persistent damp, mould, or condensation forming on external-facing walls

The benefits of internal wall insulation

Internal wall insulation transforms Yorkshire's coldest properties into warm, comfortable homes while preserving their period character. Here's what you gain:

Dramatically warmer rooms requiring 50% less heating to stay comfortable

Preserve your property's original external appearance and character

Cut energy bills by £300-500 annually with improved EPC rating

Eliminate damp, mould, and condensation on previously cold walls

Transforms cold solid-wall rooms, finished ready for decoration

  • Cavity wall insulation
    After receiving a letter from Northern Retrofit informing me of the government scheme to improve insulation and that it was a free service, I was initially sceptic but decided to look into it further and, after a very pleasant phone conversation, I was assured it was ‘legit’ and went ahead with arranging cavity wall insulation which was carried out efficiently by a couple of very pleasant workers who made sure I had everything in place to keep my property sufficiently insulated also checking whether or not I needed ventilation/extractor fans which they were only too pleased to supply and fit at zero cost to me! Excellent service and I would not hesitate to recommend Northern Retrofit.

  • Room in roof insulation
    From initial contact to completion, the room-in-roof work done by Northern Retrofit on my house was completed to my total satisfaction. The workforce was efficient, friendly, and cooperative throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend this company to anyone considering similar work. One point to note is that, as with any plastering work, dust can get into the air, so it’s important to adequately cover furniture and belongings beforehand.

Work undertaken was to a high standard. Friendly, reliable and efficient staff who kept us fully informed at all times.

  • Cavity wall insulation
    Free cavity wall insulation and extractor fan in bathroom fitted quickly and professionally. Small leakage of beads in the cellar which they came back and sorted the same day I rang. No complaints whatsoever, rare to get a worthwhile service for free! Thank you

  • Cavity wall extraction
    First class service from Northern Retrofit. We had our old cavity wall insulation taken out, and replaced with new. We were happy from start to finish, and found them to be both friendly and efficient. A special thanks must be given to Lucy in the office, and Kelby and Elliott who carried out the work. We are very happy with the result, it has made the house so much warmer. Thank you.

Yes. We deliver internal wall insulation for councils, housing associations and main contractors, from single properties to larger programmes.
