Common questions
Can I get free insulation near me?
Possibly. The ECO4 scheme (funded by energy companies) and the Great British Insulation Scheme (GBIS) provide free or heavily subsidised insulation for eligible households. ECO4 targets low-income and benefit-recipient households; GBIS covers homes in council tax bands A–D with an EPC rating of D or below. Find an installer near you and they can check your eligibility at no cost.
How long does cavity wall insulation take?
A standard cavity wall insulation installation takes half a day (3–5 hours) for a typical semi-detached or terraced house. Larger detached homes may take a full day. There's no need to move out — the work is done from outside using small holes drilled in the brickwork.
How do I find a trustworthy insulation installer?
Look for installers who are registered with CIGA (Cavity Insulation Guarantee Agency) for cavity wall work — it provides a 25-year guarantee. For loft insulation, NIA (National Insulation Association) membership is a good indicator of quality. ECO4 and GBIS-registered installers are vetted by Ofgem.
