Cavity Wall Insulation

thumbnail

Maximizing your home’s thermal performance is essential for maintaining comfort and reducing energy bills. SOLO HOME ENERGY is pleased to offer Free Cavity Wall Insulation Grants, providing eligible households in the UK with the opportunity to enhance their home’s insulation at no cost. This upgrade ensures that your home stays warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer, all while reducing your energy costs.

Cavity wall insulation involves filling the gap (or “cavity”) between your home’s exterior and interior walls with insulating material. This insulation acts as a barrier, reducing heat loss through the walls and keeping your home at a more stable temperature. It’s an effective way to improve the energy efficiency of homes with cavity walls, which are common in properties built after the 1920

Helpful Faq’s

Cavity wall insulation involves filling the gap (or "cavity") between a home's exterior and interior walls with insulating material. This barrier reduces heat loss through the walls, helping to maintain a more stable indoor temperature. It's commonly used in properties built after the 1920s to improve energy efficiency, keeping homes warmer in winter and cooler in summer, while lowering energy costs.

To qualify for cavity wall insulation in the UK,
certain requirements must be met,
typically involving both the type of property and
eligibility criteria for the grants.
The key requirements are:

1. Property Requirements:
Cavity Walls:

The property must have cavity walls,
which are common in homes built after the 1920s.
Homes with solid walls do not qualify for cavity wall insulation.

Wall Condition:

The walls must be in good condition
and not prone to excessive damp or structural issues.

Uninsulated:

If the cavity walls are already insulated,
you may not be eligible for further insulation.

Cavity Wall Thickness:

There should be a sufficient gap (usually around 50mm)
between the walls to accommodate insulation material.

2. Eligibility for Grants:
Low-Income or Vulnerable Households:

Homeowners or tenants receiving certain benefits,
such as Universal Credit, Pension Credit,
or Income Support, are often eligible for free
or subsidized cavity wall insulation through schemes like ECO4.

Local Authority Referral:

In some cases, households identified by local authorities
as needing assistance under the LA Flex program may qualify.

Social Housing:

Tenants of social housing may also be eligible
if the property has a poor energy efficiency rating.

3. Energy Performance:

Homes with low energy efficiency ratings (often D, E, F, or G)
may be prioritized for cavity wall insulation to improve thermal performance.
