Cavity Wall Insulation
If you're a Lancashire resident, we'll be able to help you. Complete the application form and our team will be in touch to confirm your eligibility and options.
Cavity wall insulation can be funded through the Government's Warm Homes: Local Grant. For eligible residents, the grant could cover the cost of installation.
After applying, we'll review what measures your home needs. Under the Warm Homes: Local Grant, this could include insulation, air source heat pumps and solar panels. Cavity wall insulation will be installed if it is suitable for your home.
We'll contact you within 5 working days to confirm eligibility. If eligible, a retrofit survey will be organised. This is to review the property and decide what measures are suitable.
A contractor will then contact you to arrange a Technical Survey. This is an in-depth survey of the property to take the required measurements for installation.
The contractor will then submit quotes to the Government for approval. Once approved, you will be contacted to arrange the installation date.
There are three main types of insulation: fibre, bead and PUR foam. Fibre and bead are the predominant types used subject to suitability based on a technical survey. PUR foam has a broader range of uses, including non-standard cavities as well as use in flood risk areas.
Cavity wall insulation is injected through the outer wall of your home into the space between the inner and outer leaves of brickwork that make up cavity walls. Where practicable, all of the installers working with our scheme use "Silver Bonded Bead". This product prevents slippage and gives an improved thermal performance. Giving you the peace of mind that your insulation will not cause your property problems in the future.
Insulating your cavity walls can help your home to keep heat in, making it feel warmer and more comfortable, plus you could save between £90 and £270 per year, depending on your property type and size.
Cavity wall insulation fills the gap between the inner and outer walls of your home to help reduce heat loss or keep your home cool in summer.

We wouldn’t usually recommend cavity wall insulation for coastal properties; however, it is suitable for most other properties. It will be recommended following the survey if deemed appropriate.
Some considerations of cavity wall insulation are trapped moisture, so suitable ventilation measures will likely need to be added (this will be highlighted in the retrofit survey), and existing damp will need to be fixed before the work can start.
