What Is Cavity Wall Insulation?
Insulation for cavity walls is a type of home improvement that involves filling the gap between the inner and outer layers of a cavity wall with insulating material. This traps air and acts as a barrier, preventing heat from escaping your home.
At ECO Home UK, we use bonded bead insulation as our material of choice for several reasons:
- Superior performance: Bonded bead insulation boasts impressive thermal resistance, meaning it keeps your home warmer in winter and cooler in summer compared to other materials.
- Long-lasting benefits: Once installed, bonded bead insulation will
effectively insulate your home for its lifetime, providing consistent energy savings and comfort. - Minimal disruption: Installing bonded bead insulation requires minimal drilling and disruption to your home, making it a convenient and hassle-free choice.
Is Cavity Wall Insulation Right For You?
Most houses built after the 1920s have cavity walls, which are two separate walls of brick or blockwork with a gap in between. This gap, called the cavity, is the perfect space to install bonded bead cavity wall insulation. If your home was built before the 1920s, it likely has solid walls, which are not suitable for cavity wall insulation. However, we offer expert solutions for solid wall insulation too.
Stop Throwing Money at the Walls: Insulate and Save
Uninsulated walls are a major energy drain, contributing up to 35% of your home’s total heat loss. This translates to wasted energy and higher bills. By choosing cavity wall insulation, you could save up to £245 a year, meaning the install pays for itself in no time at all!

This may be necessary if your insulation is old, damaged, or incorrectly installed. We use advanced methods and equipment to remove insulation safely and efficiently. Let us be your go-to experts for cavity wall insulation and extraction services.
What Are The Main Steps Involved In Installing Cavity Wall Insulation?
Frequently Asked Questions
Cavity wall insulation normally takes around two to three hours to install but thetime does depend on the size of the house and other factors such as weather and access.
No, you can remain in your home during the upgrade process. Our team will work efficiently and minimise any disturbance to your daily activities.
All technicians (Team Leaders) undergo training by the system supplier and the installing company to ensure that they are competent in Cavity wall insulation installation and carry a training approval card.
Ventilators that supply combustion air to fuel burning appliances must be safeguarded. Similarly, ventilators at ground level that ventilate below timber floors must be safeguarded also. If they are not, the technicians will investigate to check if they are already sleeved. If they are not, the technician will remove and seal them to stop them being blocked by the insulation. Other vents which may be redundant, such as cavity vents and air bricks, or vents that used to supply air to open fires in bedrooms may be closed off. The technicians will discuss these procedures with you.
Due to the amount of different external colours of the UK housing stock, we generally only keep white and magnolia masonry paint. Unfortunately, even if the original paint is used, it may not match the existing colour due to fading and weathering. So, it may be necessary for you to consider painting the area after the mortar has dried.
Providing your property is adequately maintained, the bonded bead cavity wall insulation system will last the lifetime of the building.
Yes – if your heating is not controlled by a thermostat. However, if you have a thermostat, it will cut out the heating at the same temperature, so you may notice a difference in the room with a thermostat. You should find that the temperature in other parts of your home improves. Your home will heat up quicker than before, and the heat will also be retained in the property for longer once you turn off the heating. This will mean that you are using less fuel to heat your home, therefore saving you money on your utility bills.
