Cavity wall insulation.

Un-insulated cavity walls lose 33% or more of the heat generated within the property. So for an un-insulated house that’s £1 of heat escaping for every £3 spent heating it.

A cavity wall consists of a internal and external course of bricks or blocks with a gap in-between. If your house was built after 1930 then your property should have cavity walls which may need insulating.

This is done by drilling through the outer layer of brickwork, normally through the mortar and then injecting the material into the cavity. The injection holes are then filled with appropriately coloured cement.

The whole process should take between 2-3 hours depending on the size of the property and is carried out by qualified and registered installers.

Upon completion a 25 year guarantee will be issued for the property from the governing body, which will aid in any property evaluation.

FOR STONE BUILT PROPERTIES OR PROPERTIES WITH NARROW CAVITIES, OR SHOULD YOU SIMPLY WISH FOR FEWER DRILL HOLES.

If you have a stone built house (with narrower than normal cavity wall, where standard insulation may not be suitable), or you would prefer less drill holes, then we have two solutions for you to consider.

Warmfill Super Silver Bead insulation might be one answer. This is more expensive and you may need to pay a premium for travel expenses if you are not in an area covered by the installers. Click HERE to enquire about Warmfill Super Silver Bead.

Alternatively, there is an insulating paint, developed by NASA, which can help to reduce heat loss through wals by 25%. Click HERE for more information.
