Cavity Wall Insulation is a highly effective method used to prevent heat loss in homes that have a gap (or “cavity”) between two layers of external brick walls. These cavities are filled with insulation material to trap heat inside, making your home warmer, more energy-efficient, and cheaper to heat.
If your home was built between 1920 and 2000, there’s a good chance it has uninsulated cavity walls meaning you’re likely losing up to 35% of your heat through the walls alone.
By injecting insulation into the cavity, we create a thermal barrier that stops warmth from escaping, especially during Scotland’s colder months.
✅ Reduces heat loss and cuts your energy bills
✅ Quick, non-invasive process usually completed in just a few hours
✅ Fully funded for eligible homes under GBIS and ECO4 government schemes
Whether you’re a homeowner or tenant, cavity wall insulation is one of the smartest upgrades for achieving a warmer, greener, and more affordable home.
The Free Cavity And Wall Insulation Scheme is part of the UK Government’s wider energy-efficiency initiatives — including the Great British Insulation Scheme (GBIS) and ECO4. It’s designed to help homeowners and eligible tenants in Scotland make their homes warmer and more energy-efficient at no personal cost.
If your property was built between 1920 and 1990, it likely has Cavity Walls external walls made of two layers with a gap (cavity) in between. This gap can cause significant heat loss, especially in colder Scottish climates. Cavity wall insulation fills this space with insulating material to retain heat, lower energy bills, and reduce carbon emissions.
✅ The grant is fully funded by the government
✅ Covers the entire cost of installation
✅ Available for EPC (D to G) properties
