Cavity Wall Insulation

Effective cavity wall insulation can significantly reduce your energy bills and improve the overall comfort of your home. Cavity wall insulation works by injecting insulating material, such as mineral wool or polystyrene beads, into the gap between the inner and outer walls. This slows the heat transfer throughout the property, meaning that heat leaves the property much less quickly than it would when uninsulated. Providing a more comfortable internal environment, not only in the winter but in summer periods too. This can also reduce demand on the property’s heating system, in turn providing a reduction in energy costs.

Understanding Cavity Wall Insulation

Cavity wall insulation involves filling the gap between the exterior and interior walls of your home with insulating material. This process helps to prevent heat loss, making your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer. Effective insulation can significantly reduce your energy bills and improve the overall comfort of your home.

When a house is built with cavity walls, there is a space between the outer and inner walls, which can lead to substantial heat loss if not properly insulated. Cavity wall insulation works by injecting insulating material, such as mineral wool or polystyrene beads, into this gap. This material traps air and acts as a barrier to heat flow, enhancing your home’s thermal efficiency. Proper insulation can reduce energy consumption, lower heating bills, and create a more consistent indoor climate.

What to Expect During a Survey

1. Initial Consultation: We begin with a detailed discussion about your home’s current insulation and your goals for improving energy efficiency. This helps us understand your specific needs and tailor our survey accordingly. We will ask questions about your home’s age, construction type, and any known issues with insulation or heating.
2. Home Inspection: Our expert will visit your property to inspect the exterior and interior walls. We assess the cavity’s size, existing insulation (if any), and potential issues such as cracks or dampness that might affect the insulation process. This inspection includes a close examination of wall surfaces, joints, and any areas prone to moisture ingress.
3. Detailed Report: After the survey, we provide a comprehensive report outlining our findings and recommendations. This report includes an evaluation of your current insulation, potential energy savings, and information on available grants to support your insulation project. Our survey report is then provided to an accredited installer partner who will further assess the property walls and their suitability for cavity wall insulation.
4. Moisture Assessment: It’s crucial to ensure that your walls are free from dampness before installing insulation. We conduct moisture assessments to detect any damp areas and advise on necessary repairs to ensure the insulation will be effective and long-lasting. Our moisture assessment includes checking for signs of water penetration, condensation, and existing damp patches.
5. Installation: Provided suitability has been confirmed and the property meets the criteria for the works to be funded under the scheme, the installation for your cavity wall insulation is arranged with an accredited installer partner for the scheme.
