Cavity Wall Insulation
It is estimated that around 9 million homes in the UK have cavity walls which have yet to be insulated and with more than a third* of all heat being lost through the walls, insulating the cavity provides a cost-effective way to improve comfort levels and reduce energy use in the home.
Cavity wall insulation is normally suited to brick built properties which were built after the 1920s. It is normally possible to identify whether the walls have cavities by checking whether the bricks are all laid “side-on”.
Average savings of around 15%, equating to around £135* per year can be made on a typical home’s energy bills. The installation is clean, safe and quick to install.
Independent 25 year guarantees are provided by Cavity Insulation Guarantee Agency (CIGA) for all projects.

These are estimated figures based on insulating a gas-heated, semi-detached home with three bedrooms. The installed cost includes a subsidy of around £250 available from the major energy suppliers under the
Carbon Emissions Reduction Target (CERT).
