What Is Cavity Wall Insulation?

Cavity wall insulation (CWI) fills the gap between the inner and outer leaves of a brick wall with an insulating material—typically mineral wool, expanded polystyrene beads, or polyurethane foam. By reducing heat loss through your walls, CWI can:

•Boost Comfort: Walls stay warmer in winter and cooler in summer.

•Cut Energy Bills: Insulation can save up to £150–£300 per year on heating costs.

•Shrink Your Carbon Footprint: Less heating demand means lower CO₂ emissions.

The Installation Process

1. Free Assessment

A certified installer conducts a no‑obligation survey to verify wall type, cavity width, and current EPC rating.

2. Grant Approval

We submit your details to an energy supplier under ECO4. Once approved, the grant covers the full cost.

3. Installation Day

Installed in as little as a few hours, with minimal disruption—drill holes, inject insulating material, seal holes.

A final inspection ensures quality and updates your EPC to reflect the improved rating (often boosting by one or two bands).
