Horton Energy

An EWI system includes a render finish that enhances both the functionality and external appearance of a building. Our renders come in a wide range of colours and textures, creating a unique finish that will stand the test of time.

By sustaining heat in a building, energy bills are dramatically reduced. A four-bed detached house can expect to save approximately £455 a year on energy bills when installing 90mm of EPS onto a solid brick wall.

Our superior range of renders are highly flexible, breathable and hydrophobic. All these components help to improve the durability of the building’s facade given that they are less liable to crack, develop organic growth and cause damp issues.

As EWI covers the entire exterior of a building, the building is not only prevented from losing heat but also water ingress. The render acts as a weather-proof barrier for the building, thereby increasing its lifespan.

Thermal comfort refers to a building sustaining a comfortable temperature throughout all weather conditions. Whatever the weather, EWI can ensure that the inside of your property is the perfect temperature for feeling comfortable. how we build our external wall insulation

Our Reviews

Repair of celling and walls in living room due to extensive leak from upstairs bathroom.

Excellent service from start to finish. Colin attended my home within an hour of notifying him of the leak and damage. He had members of his team attend and repair the damage, re-plaster, re-decorate and make new the entire living room. Super friendly, professional service. I can't speak highly enough of them. So lucky to have trusted builders on my doorstep, that I can trust 100%. Thank you Hortons!

Single Storey Side and Rear extension with raised a patio.

Colin and the team at Horton Builders recently completed a single storey side and rear extension at our house in Pettswood. Colin and his team were fantastic from start to finish. One of the things we liked most was Colins personal touch and attention to detail, he finished the project on time and on budget which in this climate of constant rising prices is nothing short of a miracle. I couldn't recommend Horton Builders highly enough, they were brilliant.

Large rear ground floor extension and silicone rendered the whole house

We are really pleased that we used Colin and his team at Horton Builders and would thoroughly recommend them. We are really pleased with the job and Colin & the team are a nice bunch. We had alot of work done so they were with us several months. We found them to be trustworthy, and very easy to get on with. We were living in the house the whole time and Colin did everything he could to make the house liveable for us, eg good insulation, temporary partitions etc. Colin was there daily making sure all was going ok and answering any questions we had.

To build an additional consultation room in GP surgery

Hortons were commissioned to build a consultation room from without our waiting room area in a short timescale and with minimum disruption to patients. They were incredibly and did everything they could to build quickly, without disruption and to a high standard. We are very impressed with their work and would highly recommend this company. All the workmen cleared up after they finished, all were very polite and professional and all work very hard for us couldn’t have asked for more. Also the company did extra work without any further charges we are a very happy client.

Large ground floor extension to create open plan living area

We used Colin and his team from Horton Builders for a large 70sqm ground floor extension and reconfigure of existing space that needed a lot of work. We could not recommend Colin and the team highly enough and they have been superb from start to finish. From quotation, input to the design and suggestions which were hugely valuable, we found Colins experience, personality and professionalism made the whole project the success it is. We remained on budget, on time with COVID, bad weather and supply chain challenges. A fantastic company and you won't be disappointed. Highly recommended!

Rendering

Colin and his team did an excellent job at a fair price. He provided us with an accurate estimate for which we paid a deposit at the start and the balance on completion. Colin kept us informed via email in a timely manner. We are happy to recommend him.
