CAVITY WALL
INSULATION
Under the official Government backed ECO4 scheme, you can get FREE home energy improvements!
If your home was built after the 1930s, chances are its external walls are made of two ‘skins’ with a gap of around 50mm between them, making them ‘cavity walls’. Cavity wall insulation involves filling this gap with insulating material to prevent warmth from escaping to the outside. At EcoGrants4u, a division of Tech Smart Group Limited, we specialize in providing professional cavity wall insulation services under the ECO scheme in the United Kingdom.
Determining whether your home is suitable for cavity wall insulation is essential. Generally, your home will be suitable if:
However, certain situations may render your home unsuitable for cavity wall insulation, such as poor maintenance, evidence of rising or penetrating damp, dirty cavities, exposure to extreme weather conditions, or blocked guttering. Our registered installers will assess whether your home meets the necessary criteria for cavity wall insulation.
The installation process for cavity wall insulation is simple, quick (about two hours), and minimally invasive. The most common method involves drilling small holes into the mortar at regular intervals and injecting the insulation material into the cavity. The holes are then refilled once the insulation has been blown in. Alternatively, rigid insulation boards may be fitted into the wall cavities for new-build properties.
Polystyrene beads are the most common material used in cavity wall insulation due to their effectiveness at keeping heat in and resistance to moisture absorption. At EcoGrants4u, we use polystyrene beads with a carbon coating for enhanced performance.
Our cavity wall insulation installations are carried out by registered installers who adhere to strict industry standards and codes of practice. Additionally, installations are guaranteed for 25 years by the Cavity Insulation Guarantee Agency (CIGA), providing assurance that any issues arising from faulty or inappropriate installation will be resolved promptly and effectively.
