That’s why properly insulating cavity walls can help you save energy and cut costs off your heating bill.
While houses built from the 1990s onwards generally have wall insulation, older homes may not have any at all. Most houses in the UK have either solid walls or cavity walls. If your house was built after the 1920s, it likely has cavity walls. A cavity wall is made up of two walls with a gap in between, known as the cavity. The outer leaf is usually made of brick, and the inner layer of brick or concrete block. Pre-1920 homes are more likely to have solid walls, which have no cavity and are usually made of brick or stone.
If this cavity has no insulation or is poorly insulated, it may lose significant amounts of heat and is in need of an upgrade
Cavity wall insulation is the process of injecting insulation material into the cavity from the outside. A specialist company will drill small holes in the outside walls, inject insulation through the holes, and then seal them with cement. The insulation materials used are bonded beads.
To insulate your cavity walls, the installer drills small holes around 22mm in size at intervals of around 1m in the outside wall of your home. The installer then blows insulation into the cavity using special equipment. Once all the insulation is in, the installer fills the holes in the brickwork so that they’re barely noticeable.
We also offer cavity wall extraction for faulty insulation.
Loft insulation can be an excellent choice for homeowners looking to improve energy efficiency and reduce heating costs.
