What is Cavity Wall Insulation?

Most UK homes built after 1920 have cavity walls - two layers of brick with a gap (cavity) between them. Cavity wall insulation fills this gap with insulating material, stopping heat escaping through your walls.

Installation takes just 2-3 hours and can save you £100-£400 per year on heating bills. It's the quickest, most cost-effective insulation upgrade available and is often fully funded through ECO4 grants for eligible homes.
