What is Cavity Wall Insulation?
Cavity wall insulation is a simple and highly effective way to prevent heat loss from your home. It involves filling the gap between your external walls with insulating material, helping you keep your home warmer for longer, and cutting energy bills in the process.
Through the ECO4 and GBIS government schemes, eligible homeowners can get cavity wall insulation completely free of charge. It’s ideal for homes built after 1920 with unfilled cavity walls and poor energy performance.
Cavity wall insulation is perfect for reducing heat loss, lowering fuel bills, and improving comfort, especially in the colder months.
- Stops up to 35% of heat loss through walls
- Quick installation by certified professionals
- Free for eligible homeowners under ECO4 or GBIS
Is Cavity Wall Insulation Right for My Home?
Cavity wall insulation is ideal for most homes built after the 1920s, when double brick walls with a gap (cavity) became standard. If your property has unfilled cavity walls and a poor energy rating, you’re likely to benefit significantly.
Here’s when cavity wall insulation is most suitable:
- Your external walls are made of brick (not stone or solid wall)
- Your home was built between 1920 and 2005
- You have little or no insulation already
- You notice cold draughts or high heating bills
- Your EPC rating is D, E, F, or G
Not sure if your walls are suitable? Our team will carry out a free survey to check your home’s cavity type, condition, and eligibility.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find quick answers to your most common questions here.
Yes, cavity wall insulation is still widely recommended for most properties built after 1920. It’s one of the most cost-effective ways to improve energy efficiency and reduce heat loss through your external walls.
If installed incorrectly or in unsuitable properties (e.g. homes with damaged brickwork or exposure to wind-driven rain), cavity wall insulation can lead to moisture issues. That's why a proper pre-installation survey is essential — which we provide for free.
Some older installations were poorly done or installed in unsuitable homes. This led to damp issues, prompting removal. However, modern installations under ECO4/GBIS follow strict PAS 2030 standards and include full suitability checks to prevent this.
No — damp usually occurs only when insulation is installed in properties that weren’t suitable or had existing defects (like cracked render or porous bricks). With a proper survey and professional installation, cavity wall insulation does not cause damp.
Yes — under the ECO4 and GBIS schemes, cavity wall insulation is fully funded for eligible homeowners. If you qualify, there’s no cost to you at any stage, including survey, materials, installation, or aftercare.
Most cavity wall insulation jobs are completed in 2 to 4 hours, depending on the size and layout of your home. We always work to minimise disruption and leave your property clean and tidy.
