Cavity Walls
Cavity Wall Insulation Grants in 2020
Cavity wall insulation is a simple, effective way to save money on your energy bills and reduce your carbon footprint. If you’re one of the millions of homeowners in the UK who own your home and want to make your home more energy efficient, then get an application form today!
What is Cavity Wall Insulation?
Cavity wall insulation is a way to improve your home’s energy efficiency, reducing your energy bills and helping the environment. It fills the gap between two walls with material reflecting heat into your home. The result is better insulation than you’d get from just one wall alone, making your home more comfortable and saving money on heating bills.
Cavity wall insulation grants are available for homeowners who want to make their homes more efficient but may need more money to pay for them. To qualify as a homeowner, you need the following:
- To own or be paying off the property you live in (you can’t rent)
- To be aged 18 years or older.
You may qualify
You may be eligible to apply if you are a homeowner, own your home and live in England, Scotland or Wales. You must also be over 18 years old and in receipt of any one of the following benefits*:
- Income Support
- Jobseeker’s Allowance
- Pension Credit Guarantee Credit
- Employment and Support Allowance — income-related basis (around £5,000) (if you are under 25 years old)
- Universal Credit — limited capability for work with a partner/spouse who is working or has reached State Pension Age
What are the benefits of cavity wall insulation?
Cavity wall insulation is one of the most cost-effective ways to improve your home. It’s proven to:
- Cut energy bills by up to £170 a year on average.
- Reduce carbon emissions, helping you save money and do your bit for the environment

If you own your home, you may be eligible.

- The owner must be a homeowner and a tenant, but we need to write permission from your landlord.
- The household income must be less than £60,000 per year (for single people living alone) or £85,000 per year (for couples living together)
- The home must have cavity walls built before 1979
- It would be best if you lived in England.
The home must be at least two storeys high and meet specific insulation, heating, and energy consumption standards. It’s important to note that the eligibility criteria for this grant can change over time. So if you are eligible, it’s best to contact Cavity Wall Insulation Services.

Do I have to pay for a survey?
You do not have to pay for a survey. Free surveys are available from local companies; installing a survey before applying is highly recommended.
