What Is Cavity Wall Insulation?
Cavity wall insulation is one of the most effective ways to improve your home’s energy efficiency and reduce heat loss. Most UK homes built after the 1920s have a cavity wall—two layers of brickwork with a small gap (or cavity) between them. Without insulation, this gap allows warm air to escape and cold air to seep in, causing higher energy bills and uncomfortable drafts. Installing cavity wall insulation involves filling this space with a high-performance insulating material, such as mineral wool, polystyrene beads, or polyurethane foam. These materials act as a thermal barrier, slowing down heat transfer and keeping your home warmer in winter and cooler in summer.
How Cavity Wall Insulation Works
Cavity wall insulation works by filling the gap between your home’s inner and outer brick walls with a thermal material that slows down heat loss. Most installations use mineral wool, polystyrene beads, or eco-friendly foam injected directly into the cavity through small holes in the external wall. Once filled, these holes are sealed, creating a continuous barrier that keeps warm air inside and cold air out — reducing one of the biggest sources of heat loss in UK homes.
By maintaining a stable indoor temperature, your heating system doesn’t need to work as hard, which means lower energy consumption, reduced wear on your boiler, and a more comfortable living environment throughout the year.
Under the ECO4 and Great British Insulation Scheme (GBIS), cavity wall insulation is often available free of charge or heavily subsidised, depending on your property type and household eligibility.
Benefits of Cavity Wall Insulation
Upgrading or installing cavity wall insulation is one of the most effective ways to make your home more energy-efficient and reduce heat loss.
Whether you own or rent your property, cavity wall insulation prevents warm air from escaping through your walls, keeping your home warmer in winter and cooler in summer.

However, under the Government-backed ECO4 and Great British Insulation Scheme (GBIS), many UK homeowners and tenants can receive cavity wall insulation completely free or at a significantly reduced cost, depending on eligibility and property assessment.

Save up to £450 per year on heating costs.
Reduce up to 35% of heat loss through external walls.

EXCELLENT Based on 165 reviews C MTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Guys worked really hard today S YTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had H&R Energy Solutions carry out loft insulation and a new boiler installation at my property, and I couldn’t be happier with the service. From start to finish, the team was professional, efficient, and friendly. The survey was explained clearly, and they guided me through the process step by step, making everything stress-free. The installers arrived on time, worked neatly, and made sure everything was completed to a high standard. My home is now much warmer, and I’m already noticing the difference in comfort and energy efficiency. It’s rare to find a company that combines expertise with genuine customer care, but H&R Energy Solutions absolutely delivered on both.
