Installing or upgrading the cavity wall insulation in your property is one of the simplest and most effective ways to reduce energy bills and make your home more comfortable. Compared to solid wall insulation, cavity wall insulation is relatively simple and inexpensive.
If your home was built after the 1930s, it’s highly likely that the exterior is made up of cavity walls, which are two “skins” of brickwork separated by a small gap of up to 50 or even 100mm. This gap is designed to prevent moisture from reaching the inner skin; thanks to trays which collect water and direct it outside. It’s also an excellent place to install insulation, to improve the comfort of your home.
Cavity wall insulation can slash energy bills so much that the initial investment will pay for itself very quickly, so if your home has no or poor insulation in cavity walls, it can be a very wise move. What’s more, there are even government grants available which will reduce the cost significantly, meaning your cavity wall insulation will pay for itself even quicker.

Benefits of Cavity Wall Insulation
Cavity Wall Insulation Grants
There are grants available from the government that will help pay towards cavity wall insulation, however this depends on your area and on the condition your home is in. These schemes are available via some energy suppliers under the Energy Company Obligation (ECO) scheme. You can visit the government website Simple Energy Advice to see if you could be eligible for a grant.
Cost-Effective and Energy Efficient
Typically, installing cavity wall insulation into your home can cost between £300 and £800. This initial investment can be earned back very quickly, with annual savings of up to nearly £250, as well as reducing carbon dioxide emissions by up to 1000kg/year.
Thermal and Acoustic Efficiency
Cavity wall insulation will make your home a far more comfortable place to live. Contrary to popular belief, insulation doesn’t just help to keep you warmer during the colder months, but it actually helps to cool your home down during the summer too. As well as this, adding cavity wall insulation will help to dampen external noise, as many forms of insulation are also highly soundproof.
