Eco Cavity Wall Grants
ECO3 SCHEME FUNDING
Includes:25 YEAR CIGA Guarantee ROT PROOF closed-cell BEADING
We provide eco funding for cavity wall insulation as part of the UK Government's Energy Companies Obligation (ECO3) Scheme to reduce carbon emissions.
Regardless of size or age homes in the UK can benefit from cavity wall insulation, some homes constructed with uninsulated cavities are not suitable for regular cavity wall insulation.
Unfortunately homes with high exposure to driving rain, located in a high risk of flooding zone or have very narrow or uneven cavities.
Our surveyor will inspect your interior cavity and be able to determine if your walls are suitable and the best insulation techniques are better suited to your home.
If your property is suitable for wall insulation, we will insulate them using thermal beading insulation, as thermal beading provides excellent insulation performance without the damp issues cause with wool insulation.
Our installer will create tiny drill holes in the brick mortar joints, and thermal beading is injected into cavity walls using an adhesive based bonding agent.
The beading is closed-cell expanded polystyrene that does not absorb water and will remain active for the lifespan of the building.
We will then reseal the drill holes with mortar to match the original look of the property.
Once we have insulated your cavity walls, you will notice your house is cheaper to run, and easier to keep warm.
It is good to maintain your home regularly, make sure that your roof and walls don't leak and your gutters are working correctly, this is important for all properties but especially if you've just had your cavity walls insulated.
All our specialist installers are all members of CIGA (the Cavity Insulation Guarantee Agency) and all insulations come with an insurance backed 25-year guarantee.
Cavity wall insulation is a straight forward and clean process. We can install cavity wall insulation within half a day.
Our engineers drill 2cm holes in your outer wall, then inject your wall with thermal bead cavity wall insulation. Once the cavity is full, the drill holes filled, matching the existing wall.
The install process is simple, comprising three steps:
1. Drill entry holes into the cavity from either the internal or external wall
2. Full fill the cavity using thermal beading and the bonding agent.
3. Seal any drill holes, leaving no waste at your property.
What is the minimum cavity wall thickness?
We only use Thermal beading cavity wall so that we can install cavity wall insulation in 40mm gaps; Older technologies require 100mm
Older cavity wall insulation has been known to cause damp; however, we only use thermal beading, which is proven not to cause damp; they call it Rot proof.
Does cavity wall insulation need renewing?
No, If you privately rent (not social housing) you do qualify as long as you also receive one of the ECO3 qualifying benefits
Is cavity wall insulation worth it?
Absolutely, you can save hundreds of pounds per year by using cavity wall insulation, and installation typically cost around £750; however, you may be eligible for free cavity wall insulation through ECO3 scheme
