External Wall Insulation Grants
External wall insulation involves placing an insulating material on the exterior of a house and covering it with a special type of plaster or cladding, which helps to improve the thermal efficiency of your property.
The thermal efficiency of external wall insulation can potentially help you save between £120 – £455 annually, depending on your wall construction and property type. A home with optimal thermal efficiency also remains free of dampness and mould due to the absence of cold patches causing condensation.

Internal Wall Insulation Grants
Internal wall insulation is a wonderful choice for all uninsulated walls especially when external insulation is neither practicable or permitted. Internal wall insulation combines an insulated lining to the inside of an external wall. Internal wall can be be installed room by room.
Internal Wall Insulation Procedure
There are several techniques for internally insulating a solid wall, which entails insulating the interior of the wall using one of two distinct materials.
-
Ready-made insulation boards are screwed directly to the wall and are constructed of plasterboard supported with up to 50-100mm insulation materials depending on the area of the room being installed.
-
A wooden batten frame is affixed to the wall, and the space between the battens is filled with insulation materials.
-
Our team will plaster the wall ready for decoration
The Advantages of Internal Wall Insulation

Are Grants available for Internal or External wall insulation?
Yes, grants for internal and external wall insulation are available via the Energy Company Obligation (ECO) scheme. This is a government-imposed obligation on energy companies to give funds for energy-saving initiatives such as insulation and boiler replacements for qualified homes. This is part of a larger government initiative to cut carbon emissions and assist homeowners which saves money on their energy costs.
