Unfilled cavity walls could be costing you £100s each year. Cavity wall insulation can help your home stay warmer for longer and therefore significantly reduce the amount you spend on energy to heat your house up.
But did you know there are grants out there that could mean you qualify for a free cavity wall insulation government grant (or at the very least, have the majority of the cost covered by a grant)?

For most people, yes! Insulation in your cavity walls will bring plenty of benefits your way, and it’s much cheaper than installing insulation on your external walls, for example. But there’s no denying that there are certain things you’ll need to consider before opting for this type of insulation over loft insulation or insulation for solid walls, etc, so it’s worth weighing the options up against one another to see if cavity wall insulation is the right eco home improvement for you.
Formerly known as ECO+, GBIS began in summer 2023, and will last until March 2026. It aims to help over 300,000 homes in Great Britain with £1 billion in funding to support the least energy efficient homes. Free cavity wall insulation is possible here, but how much you’ll receive towards the cost of your installation will be decided on a case by case basis. For most, it will be free. For some, you may have to pay a little towards the cost yourself.
As the aim of the scheme is to support the most vulnerable households in Great Britain living in energy inefficient homes, you’ll need to meet criteria that reflect that. You must be:
Because the UK government is targeting the least energy efficient homes, the savings you could see with proper cavity wall insulation are much higher – around £300 to £400 annually according to the government’s own estimates.
That could significantly improve your financial situation and help control the amount you spend on energy bills each year.
| 1 Child | 2 Children | 3 Children | 4+ Children | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Single-Parent Households | £19,800 | £24,600 | £29,400 | £34,200 |
| Two-Parent Households | £27,300 | £32,100 | £36,900 | £41,700 |
No. Not everybody will be eligible for a grant, and even those that are might not have the full cost of cavity wall insulation covered. Still, it’s worth bearing in mind that cavity wall insulation is one of the cheapest and quickest ways to make your home more energy efficient. So even if you have to pay, it hopefully won’t break the bank!
As long as the building is standing. Or, that’s how long it’s supposed to last. If the home falls into disrepair and the cavity wall insulation gets damp, then you’ll need to replace it. Cared for properly, though, it will last for the entire lifespan of the building.
Each grant is different. But if you contact us today, our friendly expert team will be able to guide you further and advise you about the specific grant application process that’s relevant to you.
It’s difficult to say how much insulation for cavity walls will cost in the UK, because it all depends on things like the size of your property and the type of your property. A large detached property will cost significantly more to insulate than a small mid terrace, for example. On average, though, cavity wall insulation will cost around £1000-£4600 (prices correct as of October 2023) according to Energy Saving Trust. Remember, with the support of free cavity wall insulation government grants, the Energy Saving Trust estimates may be irrelevant to you because it could cost even less – or nothing at all! It’s also worth remembering the significant savings you’ll be making on your energy costs, too, meaning anything you do spend on cavity insulation will be recuperated in savings on your heating bills.
