Insulation FAQ’s
-
Cavity wall insulation involves drilling small holes in your exterior walls and pumping in insulation material to fill the gaps between the inner and outer walls. Once filled, the holes are sealed, leaving your walls looking the same but your home feeling much warmer. The process is quick, efficient, and can be easily retrofitted in most homes. For more details or to explore cavity wall insulation grants in your area, give us a call.

If your home has cold, solid exterior walls, especially if it was built before the 1930s, external wall insulation can help. This process involves attaching insulation to the outside walls and covering it with a special render, providing effective insulation where there’s no cavity to fill.
External wall insulation is a cost-effective solution for solid walls, offering energy savings without reducing your home’s interior space. It also improves weatherproofing, sound resistance, and the lifespan of your brickwork, while giving your property a fresh look. There are various materials available, so it’s important to choose the right one for your home.
When you choose us, you’ll get:
• Expert installation of Vaillant boilers

Yes, you may be eligible for government funding and grants for external wall insulation through the Energy Company Obligation (ECO) scheme. These subsidies can cover the cost of your insulation. We make it easy to check your eligibility and secure funding. Even if you don’t qualify, contact us to see how we can assist.

Underfloor insulation is a crucial but often overlooked way to enhance your home’s warmth. Even with the heating turned up, cold floors and draughts through floorboards can make your home feel chilly. Uninsulated suspended timber floors can lead to a 10-20% loss of heat. Insulating these floors helps prevent heat loss and keeps your home warmer for longer.
The process involves lifting the floorboards, inserting insulation material between the joists, and then replacing the boards. This not only reduces heat loss but also prevents draughts from coming through the floorboards, improving comfort in your living space.
Interested in seeing how underfloor insulation could benefit your home? Contact us today to find out if you qualify for insulation grants.

Adding insulation to your suspended floors is a quick and effective way to boost your home’s comfort. Homeowners often notice the benefits right away, including:
• Lower heating bills by up to £50* a year
• Reduced carbon emissions
• Fewer draughts
• Enhanced comfort in your living space
• Prevention of heat loss through the ground floor
• Fast and easy installation
Underfloor insulation grants are available through the government’s Energy Company Obligation (ECO) scheme, offering free funding to improve the warmth of your floors and cut heating costs. Not sure if you qualify? The requirements can change, so contact us to see how we can help. Grants are also available for lofts, external walls, and internal walls, so you might consider upgrading the insulation throughout your home at the same time. Check your eligibility today!

Loft insulation is a quick, cost-effective way to keep your home warm and energy-efficient. Since heat rises, a significant amount of your home’s heat can escape through the roof. By insulating your loft space, you create a barrier that prevents this heat loss.
Materials such as cellulose, foam board, mineral fibre, and recycled glass mineral wool can be used to fill the loft floor and walls. Once installed, loft insulation has a long lifespan and requires no additional costs.
The Energy Saving Trust suggests that with the recommended depth of 270mm of mineral wool insulation, you could save up to £395 a year on heating bills. Insulation also helps keep your home cooler in summer by preventing excessive heat from entering through the roof.
Loft insulation grants are available, potentially allowing you to insulate your entire loft for free. Contact us today to see how you can benefit from this and save on your heating costs.

Loft insulation is key to preventing heat loss, as up to a quarter of your home’s heat can escape through an uninsulated roof. Installing the right depth of loft insulation offers several benefits:
• Increases your home’s energy efficiency
• Reduces energy bills
• Lowers your annual carbon footprint
• Improves your Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating
• Enhances the saleability of your home
• Minimizes condensation in your loft space
You can also receive a grant to cover the cost of loft insulation. The UK Government offers grants to help with home insulation and energy upgrades. Eligibility may depend on factors like home ownership, income level, or receipt of certain benefits. Contact us today to see if you qualify for a free loft insulation grant and start saving on your energy bills.
