Filling the gap between the two walls of a house with an insulating material significantly decreases the amount of heat which escapes through the walls. It will help create a more even temperature in your home, help prevent condensation on the walls and ceilings and can also reduce the amount of heat building up inside your home during summer hot spells. You may be entitled to a grant or subsidised installation to help insulate your home or alternatively, if you are not entitled to a grant, you may still be eligible for a substantial discount. Both the loft and cavity will require an insulation survey prior to the installation of any Cavity Wall Insulation or Loft Insulation. This will determine the suitability of the property for insulation measures. This free insulation survey by Alva Northern typically takes around 20 to 30 minutes and you are not obliged to go ahead afterwards. Cavity wall insulation is quick, clean and relatively inexpensive to install. It is injected into the cavity from the outside taking between two to three hours in a three bedroom semi-detached house.
