VERY IMPORTANT NOTICE
THE EXISTING GOVERNMENT GRANT SCHEMES ARE COMING TO AN END.
Chancellor Rachel Reeves announced the partial removal of green levies from household energy bills in her Autumn Budget speech on November 26, 2025. This will take effect from 6th April 2026. The green levy is the vehicle that funds the ECO and GBIS grant schemes.
However, because of the time that it takes to carryout surveys, install the work and installers to receive funds, no new applications will be accepted after 24th February. This applies to ECO4 and The Great British Insulation Scheme (GBIS).
We do not know what, if anything, will replace the existing scheme.
Ed Miliband’s (Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero) flagship energy efficiency policy, which has seen its total investment increased to nearly £15 billion. Exact details have not yet been announced. We should hear more in February 2026. This is what we know so far:
- Solar & Heat Pump Grants: The government is set to allocate roughly £13 billion over the next four years for new grants specifically for solar panels, battery storage, and heat pumps.
- Targeted Support: While official eligibility details are still being finalised, the scheme aims to help millions of homeowners, with the most significant assistance for upfront costs directed toward lower-income households and social housing.
- Low-Cost Loans: In addition to direct grants, a new system of low-cost loans is expected to be launched, allowing homeowners to install green technology with no upfront costs and repaying through their energy bills over 5–10 years.
- Heat Pump Grant Extension: The existing £7,500 grants for heat pump installations will remain in place at least until the next general election.
If you are interested in having Solar Panels and an Air Source Heat Pump, please complete our enquiry form and choose the Solar Panels & Heat Pump option.
However, there is still plenty of time for yet another U-turn – watch this space.

What happens next?
If you have some questions about Cavity Wall Insulation please have a look at our Frequently Asked Questions page. There is a video showing how cavity wall insulation is installed and why polystyrene bead is the best material to insulate your home’s walls.
We will need to speak to you about your enquiry and hopefully tick all the boxes to move forward.
We would then arrange a Free No Obligation Survey of your home. This is a combination of 3 surveys and takes about 2 hours and an accredited Retrofit Assessor carries out the survey.
Having already established that you qualify, these surveys will verify that your property qualifies as well.
The surveys.
Survey 1.
This is a survey of the walls of your home. The surveyor will drill a small (12mm) hole in each elevation. He/She will take photos of the cavity of each elevation. This is to check that it has not already been insulated and that it is good to do. An assessment is then made of many other factors which include damp proof course, gutters, downpipes, cracks in walls, damp inside the house, etc. The survey is uploaded to the IAA which will audit the data. All being good, they will issue a government-approved 25-year guarantee. This is a requirement of the Great British Insulation Scheme regulations.
Survey 2.
This is a survey of the house concerning its energy performance. The survey uses the same dataset as an EPC but it does not get registered so it will give us an energy performance rating for the day of the survey.
Survey 3.
This is a Retrofit Assessment. It considers the ventilation and condition of the property as required by the grant regulations.
If there are any issues we will discuss them with you.
Then we will book in the job.
It will normally take about 3 hours to insulate a semi-detached house and 4 hours for a detached house. The installation team will make good the holes with a closely matching colour. You will have a first-class finish with a minimum of fuss and disruption. Most of our customers are amazed at how quickly and neatly the job can be done. And all with a government-approved 25-year guarantee.
What are the benefits of having Cavity Wall Insulation Near Me?
Cavity wall insulation can offer several benefits, including:
Energy Efficiency:
Insulating the cavity walls helps to reduce heat loss through the walls of your home. This will improve the energy performance of your home.
Cost Savings:
By reducing the energy needed to heat your home, cavity wall insulation can lead to lower energy bills. It should reduce your heating bills by at least 25%.
Increased Comfort:
Insulating cavity walls help to create a more consistent and comfortable indoor temperature making living spaces more pleasant throughout the year.
Environmental Impact:
Improved energy efficiency means lower carbon emissions associated with your heating system. This can reduce your home’s carbon emissions, resulting in a smaller carbon footprint for the building.
Condensation Control:
Cavity wall insulation can also help reduce or irradicate condensation within the walls. Condensation can lead to dampness, mold growth, and other issues. Insulation helps to keep the interior walls warmer, reducing the likelihood of condensation.
Property Value:
Energy-efficient features, including cavity wall insulation, can enhance the value of a property. Potential buyers or renters may see the investment in insulation as a positive feature, especially as energy efficiency becomes an increasingly important consideration. Mortgage lenders are offering “Green Mortgages” based on the energy performance certificate rating.
Noise Reduction:
Cavity wall insulation can provide some level of soundproofing by dampening external noises. This can be particularly beneficial in urban areas or locations with high levels of ambient noise.
Quick Installation:
Cavity wall insulation is normally quick to install. An average-sized semi-detached house would take about 3 hours to complete, causing minimal disruption to occupants. The process involves injecting insulating material into the cavity between the inner and outer walls of a building. Watch this 6-minute video to see how it’s done.
