FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions
Cavity Wall Insulation
What are the benefits of cavity wall insulation?
Around a third of the heat lost in an un-insulated home is lost through the walls, so cavity wall insulation is one of the best ways to reduce the amount of energy you need to keep your home warm.
What is cavity wall insulation?
Cavity wall insulation consists of granulate glass wool fibres, treated with an inert water repellent and milled down in order for it to be blown into the cavity wall, therefore creating a quilt-like effect around your home.
How will the cavity wall insulation be installed?
Our technicians will arrive at your home and perform a pre-installation check.
The installation process is essentially in two parts. Firstly the technician will drill holes in the mortar in-between the bricks of your home, at specific points around each elevation. These holes will be of 22mm to 25mm in diameter.
The insulation will then be injected into the holes from the outside (via the machine in the van) taking between 2 to 3 hours (based on a 3 bedroom semi detached house)
When will I receive the guarantee?
The guarantee you will receive is called a "CIGA" (Cavity Insulation Guarantee Agency) which guarantees workmanship and materials for 25 years. This will be applied for on your behalf and it will be sent to you direct from CIGA.
It can take up to 8 weeks for this to be delivered to you after installation.
Loft Insulation
What is loft insulation?
Loft insulation is a man-made mineral fibre in a roll form. Often referred to as "Quilt" the material generally used is made from silica, creating a wool type product also known as glass wool.
How is loft insulation installed?
The insulation is simply laid between and across the joists.
How long does it take?
The installation should take between 1 to 2 hours.
