Cavity wall insulation

Roughly 35% of household heat escapes through the walls if uninsulated.

Proper insulation of your home’s cavity walls will keep your home warmer for longer and cut down your energy bills.

How cavity wall insulation works

1
Wall preparation
Small holes approximately 22mm in size are drilled in the outside walls of your home.
2
Injected insulation
Insulation material such as polystyrene beads is injected through the holes to fill the cavity in your walls.
3
Wall finish
Once the insulation has been injected, the holes in the wall are filled to become barely noticeable.
4
Warmer in winter
Insulation creates a barrier to stop warm air from leaving through your walls.
