Wall insulation
Book Wall insulationWall insulation prevents heat from escaping through your walls, which can account for up to a third of heat loss in an uninsulated home. It improves comfort and reduces your carbon footprint.
When do you need a Wall insulation?
Consider wall insulation if your home feels cold, has high heating bills, or if an energy assessment highlights significant heat loss through the walls.
What happens on the day
The process varies by type. Cavity insulation involves injecting material into the wall gap. Internal insulation adds boards to interior walls. External insulation fixes panels to the exterior, then renders them.
How to prepare
- Clear access to external walls for external insulation.
- Move furniture away from internal walls for internal insulation.
- Remove items from walls if internal insulation is chosen.
- Inform neighbours if scaffolding or external work is required.
How to improve your result
- Choose an insulation type that suits your property's construction.
- Consider grants or schemes that may be available for insulation work.
- Ensure adequate ventilation after insulation to prevent condensation.
- Combine with other energy efficiency upgrades for maximum savings.

Why we ask these questions
We ask about your wall construction (e.g., cavity, solid), property size, and current insulation to determine the most suitable and cost-effective method. This ensures accurate quotes for your specific needs.
