A cavity wall is a wall in your property that consists of a spacing in between another wall. For example, the exterior wall of your house may be a cavity wall, which is two walls together separated by a gap. This is a relatively modern form of construction for residential and commercial properties. Traditionally walls were singular, and so could not be insulated as well as a cavity wall.
Cavity wall insulation simply fills the gap between the two walls, allowing for a more insulated, soundproof and robust structure. Due to its versatile nature and thermal properties, spray foam is an ideal candidate for cavity wall insulation.
Use our grid below to determine whether your property has cavity walls. .
The brick layout pattern is even.
All the properties of the wall are the same length.
The brickwork is more than 260mm thick.
The majority of homes built post-1920 have cavity walls.
You can look down the cavity from the attic.
The lengths of the bricks are similar.
There are round holes in between bricks, where insulation has been previously blown in.
Narrow walls are usually solid, not cavity walls.
Insulating cavity walls is important for every type of property, whether it be commercial or residential. Here are the top 4 reasons why cavity wall insulation is vital:
Modern builds most likely have cavity walls, and by not having them professionally insulated, your home will be losing heat unnecessarily. This will cost you more in energy bills and leave you open to discomfort and coldness in your own home. Non-insulation gives rise to issues that can be easily avoided.

Spray foam cavity wall insulation is one of the most effective insulation types currently on the market. Small entry holes are drilled into the exterior of your property. Spray foam insulation is sprayed, in a liquid form, into the cavities between the two walls. Then it transforms into a foam, expanding up to 100 times its original size. The holes are then filled and can be painted.
Our experts' most recommended cavity wall insulation is spray foam insulation. Spray foam insulation is an eco-friendly and cost-effective alternative to previous methods of insulation. In addition to this, the procedure for foam cavity wall insulation is non-invasive, and the results invaluable.
Open-cell spray foam is ideal for homes in need of soundproofing, as it's one of the most effective insulants for handling noise pollution on the market today. On the other hand, closed cell foam has one of the most superior thermal properties any insulation type has to offer, and can help you save up to 35% on your monthly energy bills.

As well as spray foam cavity wall insulation, there are two more products you can use to insulate the cavity between your external walls. Our professionals also recommend EPS beading and fibre insulation.
EPS Beading can provide insulation to your cavity walls at a high level. This insulation is strictly applicable to cavity walls and is more traditional than spray foam, yet is still an advanced and effective solution. More drill holes will be required to complete your cavity wall insulation compared to spray foam insulation, as EPS beads fill your cavities
EPS Beading involves the process of injecting beads into the cavity of your wall. These beads will last the lifespan of your property. Importantly, if you use an EPS Beading solution, there is no need to install the traditional cavity boards to fit the insulant, therefore saving time and money.
See our page on EPS beading for more information on this innovative cavity wall insulation method.
Lastly, our least requested form, but an applicable form of cavity wall insulation, is fibre insulation. This is one of the most traditional forms of insulation used for cavity walls, and it consists of an entirely dry insulant.
The benefits of using fibre insulation for cavity walls is that it requires simple planning, can be quick to insulate with the correct measures, and it is one of the cheaper types of insulation. Additionally, fibre insulation is more eco-friendly than older insulation such as copper cables.

According to the BBA (British Board of Agreement), cavity wall insulation will last for the life of the building. When you use a spray foam insulant, we also provide a 25-year insurance guarantee when you use our spray foam insulation.
Yes, by installing cavity wall insulation, you will reduce the amount of heat exiting your walls (which can be up to 33% of your properties heat), therefore, keeping the warmth in your home. Additionally, your household will retain its temperature for longer, as your wall’s thermal resistance would be increased.
When installing insulation via an injection method, there may be some vibration of the walls, so we recommend removing any ornaments, frames or other delicate furniture/accessories you may wish to protect. All walls will undergo an assessment/surveying process to assess what will be required to install the insulation.
Our experts inject cavity wall insulation directly into the cavity, for example, using spray foam, we will inject it into the wall’s cavity via an external hole in the mortar joint. Holes are typically small, between 22-25mm diameter and are fixed post-injection. Each hole made will follow an injection, starting from the very bottom hole.
