Cavity Wall Insulation

By injecting beads through the wall, an insulating substance can be injected into a cavity wall which reduce heat loss and your energy bills.

Most properties built of brick between 1924 and 1982 are likely to have a cavity between two layers of brick,

or between brick and block, that was not filled with insulation when the property was built.

After 1982, Building Regulations changed and required insulation to be fitted in the Cavity at the time of build.

Before 1924, properties were generally built without a cavity (known as solid wall properties).

A number of properties built after 1982 did not have Cavity Insulation fitted and we are able to help with a grant in most areas, providing it was built before 2005. Most Installers use Cavity Insulation either made from shredded mineral wool (glass fibre) or polystyrene beads, that can reduce the amount of heat escaping from the walls by up to 35%. Cavity Wall Insulation can save you up to £145 per year on energy bills and reduce carbon emissions by up to 610kg.

You will NOT be able to have Cavity Wall Insulation installed if:

  • Your property was built before 1924 or after 2005.
  • The walls have already been filled with insulation.
  • You live in a flat and do not have the agreement of neighbours above and below.
  • There are any signs of damp on the inside or outside of the walls.
  • The property is timber/steel framed, concrete or stone.
  • Ventilation is inadequate and a vent cannot be fitted.
