Cold room. Condensation issues. Mould starting to appear.

This bedroom wasn’t upgraded just to make it look nicer.

The aim was to improve how the room performs day to day.

We prepared the surfaces where required, applied CorkSolUK thin internal cork spray system and finished everything with a standard plaster finish.

Once it’s decorated, nobody will see what’s underneath.

That’s the funny thing about this type of work, the best part of the upgrade is the bit that gets covered up.

- Surfaces prepared where required
- Corksol cork overspray applied
- Helps improve wall surface temperatures
- Helps reduce condensation risk
- Minimal loss of internal space

Most people will only see a freshly plastered room.

The real difference is how it feels to live in.

What’s on the wall?

Maybe that’s the wrong question.

The better question is:

Why is it going on the wall in the first place?

For us, it’s never been about selling a product.

It’s about understanding buildings and solving problems.

That’s why we work alongside companies like , whose ongoing support, technical knowledge and proven systems help us create warmer, healthier homes for our clients.

Most people will never see what’s behind the plaster finish.

But they’ll feel the difference.

This wasn’t a decorating project. It was a room performance upgrade.

When rooms suffer from condensation, mould or simply feel cold and uncomfortable, the issue often goes deeper than the paint finish.

For this bedroom, we installed Thin Internal Wall Corkspray system to help improve wall surface temperatures and reduce condensation risk. We also fitted a cork underlay to the existing timber floor to improve comfort underfoot and enhance the overall performance of the room.

The result is a space designed to perform better, not just look better.

- Internal Corksol wall system.
- Cork floor underlay installed. - Helps increase wall surface temperatures.
- Helps reduce condensation risk.
- Improved comfort throughout the room
- Minimal loss of internal space
- Ready for decoration once fully cured

Because solving the cause is always better than treating the symptoms.

The biggest threat to a shipping container isn’t always what’s outside… it’s the condensation forming inside.

Cold steel surfaces can lead to damp contents, rusting tools and moisture-damaged stock.

CorkSpray system helps improve surface performance and reduce condensation on:

- Shipping containers
- Trailer bodies - Tool & plant storage
- Site welfare units
- Machinery & equipment stores

Less condensation. Better protection.

Why are some rooms always colder than others? 🤔

It’s a question we hear all the time.

In many older properties, the issue isn’t the heating system, it’s the wall surfaces themselves. Cold walls attract condensation, make rooms feel uncomfortable and can contribute to mould problems over time.

That’s why more homeowners, landlords and housing providers are looking at ways to improve wall performance rather than simply redecorating.

internal system can help:

- Increase wall surface temperatures
- Reduce condensation risk
- Improve comfort
- Minimise heat loss
- Thin application with minimal disruption

Ideal for older homes, flats, social housing and solid wall properties across Scotland.

The conversation is starting to change………

It used to be:

“How do we get rid of the mould?”

Now it’s becoming:

“How do we stop it coming back?”

More homeowners, landlords and housing providers are realising that the issue is often the wall itself. If a wall stays cold, condensation will keep forming and mould will keep finding its way back.

That’s why more people are looking at improving wall performance rather than simply redecorating.

These photos show an internal Corkspray installation currently underway, designed to:

- Create warmer wall surfaces
- Help reduce condensation risk. - Improve comfort within the home
- Retain more heat within the rooms
- Minimise loss of internal space

For many older properties, improving the wall performance can be a more effective long-term solution than repeatedly treating the symptoms.

Great quick turnaround again from the team at Start A Fresh Ltd on this Corksol Cork internal wall insulation installation, completed for a managed rental property in Scotland.

The brief was to address ongoing winter issues, cold internal wall surfaces, condensation and repeat mould reports, despite the heating system operating as intended.

By improving wall surface temperature and supporting healthier moisture balance, this fabric-first approach helps improve tenant comfort and reduce repeat maintenance issues.
