Cavity Wall Insulation

Helping homes built with cavity walls retain more heat, quietly, quickly and with minimal disruption.

At a glance

Why people enquire

  • Warmer rooms, especially against external walls
  • Reduced heat loss through external walls
  • Less demand on your heating, which can lower energy use
  • Potential improvement in EPC rating
  • Fast installation with minimal disruption

Many homes built after the 1920s have a small gap, or cavity, between two layers of external brick. When this cavity is left empty, valuable heat can escape through the walls. Cavity wall insulation fills that gap with insulating material, helping rooms feel warmer and reducing the demand on your heating system.

Funding & scheme context

Schemes can change. We help you understand the picture.

Cavity wall insulation has historically been supported through schemes like ECO4 and the Great British Insulation Scheme (GBIS) for eligible households. The Warm Homes Plan is also expected to consider insulation as part of wider home upgrades. We can talk you through what may apply to your home today.

Eligibility and availability depend on current scheme rules, property circumstances and household details. Emerald Green Energy does not guarantee funding.
