What is Cavity Wall Insulation?

Cavity wall insulation is a highly effective way to improve your home’s energy efficiency. Most homes built in Scotland after the 1920s have cavity walls – two layers of brick or block with a small gap (or cavity) between them. This cavity can allow heat to escape, making your home harder to heat and increasing your energy bills.

Cavity wall insulation works by filling this gap with a special insulating material, such as mineral wool, polystyrene beads, or foam. This traps heat inside your home, keeping it warmer for longer and reducing energy waste.Cavity wall insulation is quick to install (usually completed in a few hours) and causes minimal disruption to your home. It’s one of the most cost-effective ways to upgrade your property and meet modern energy-efficiency standards.

Is My Property Suitable for Cavity Wall Insulation?

Cavity wall insulation is one of the most effective and affordable ways to make your home warmer and more energy-efficient. By filling the gap between your external and internal walls with modern insulation materials, you can significantly reduce heat loss, cut your energy bills, and make your home more comfortable all year round.

 A qualified surveyor will inspect the wall type, condition, and exposure to ensure it’s safe to insulate. Homes in good repair, with unblocked cavities and no signs of damp, are typically ideal candidates for cavity wall insulation under the ECO4 or GBIS government grant schemes.

Will Cavity Wall Insulation Save Me Money on Energy Bills?

Yes — cavity wall insulation can make a real difference to your home’s comfort and your wallet. Around 35% of a home’s heat can escape through uninsulated walls, meaning you’re literally paying to heat the outdoors. By filling the gap between your external and internal walls with high-performance insulation, you can trap warmth inside, reduce your heating usage, and notice a steady drop in your monthly energy bills. It’s one of the quickest, most cost-effective upgrades for long-term savings.

With energy prices at record highs, homeowners across Scotland are turning to cavity wall insulation as a smart investment. Not only does it lower heating costs by up to £300 per year, but it also helps your property stay warm for longer and boosts your Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating. Many households even qualify for free or fully funded installation under the ECO4 or GBIS government schemes — making energy efficiency more affordable than ever.
