    Get Cavity Wall Insulation through Eco Grants

    Then, our experts will contact you to review grants you may qualify for and discuss next steps. If eligible, we can also handle the insulation installation!

    Take advantage of potential grants and install cavity wall insulation affordably. By submitting our short form, our team can guide you through available funding options. Let us help determine if you qualify for covered or free cavity wall insulation through government eco grant programs.

    Is Cavity Wall Insulation Worth It?

    For most, yes! Cavity wall insulation brings many benefits and is cheaper than external wall insulation, for example. However, certain considerations exist before choosing it over loft or solid wall insulation, so weighing options determines if it’s the right eco home improvement.

    Pros

    • Makes homes more energy efficient
    • Lowers energy bills
    • Helps control rising energy prices
    • Greener living with less home emissions
    • Relatively affordable installation (even cheaper/free with grants)
    • Provides a more comfortable home
    • Quick and easy installation

    What Is The Great British Insulation Scheme (GBIS)?

    Formerly known as ECO+, GBIS started in summer 2023 through March 2026. It provides £1 billion funding to support over 300,000 of Britain’s least energy efficient homes. Free cavity wall insulation is possible, but grant amounts towards installation costs are decided case-by-case – for most it’s free, some may pay a portion.

    The Great British Insulation Scheme Eligibility Criteria

    The scheme aims to aid the most vulnerable British households in inefficient homes, so you must meet reflecting criteria:

    • Live in a home with EPC rating of D-G, AND
    • Be in council tax band A-D in England, A-E in Scotland/Wales

    OR

    • Get means tested benefits AND
    • Have an EPC rating of D or below

    Potential Savings with GBIS

    The GBIS targets the UK’s least efficient homes, so proper cavity wall insulation could save approximately £300-£400 annually per government estimates.

    This could significantly improve your financial situation and help control annual energy costs.

    What is the ECO4 Cavity Wall Insulation Grant?

    ECO4 funds various eco-friendly improvements for low-income, inefficient homes to help reduce energy bills and carbon emissions. Introduced in April 2022, the scheme offers £4 billion total through March 2026 – including cavity wall insulation funding. To qualify, you must meet these criteria:

    The ECO4 Eligibility Requirements

    • Receive government benefits, or someone in your household does
    • Have an inefficient heating system with D-G energy rating
    • Get child benefit AND your household income is below the threshold

    ECO4 provides grants for cavity wall insulation and other upgrades to assist vulnerable households. If you receive benefits, have an inefficient system, and meet income requirements, you may be eligible for cavity wall insulation funding through the program.

    Qualifying Government Benefits

    • Income-Based Jobseeker’s Allowance
    • Income-Related Employment & Support Allowance
    • Income Support
    • Pension Credit Guarantee

      What is the LA Flex Cavity Wall Insulation Grant?

      The LA Flex (Local Authority Flexible Eligibility) scheme gives councils more flexibility to offer insulation grants. This allows them to better target vulnerable homes in their area that need support but don’t qualify under ECO4 or GBIS.

      The goal remains assisting at-risk households in inefficient homes. There are eligibility criteria to receive discounted or free cavity wall insulation.

      LA Flex Eligibility Requirements

      Criteria can vary by council/authority, but generally if your household income is under £31,000 and your home’s EPC rating is E or below, you’ll likely qualify.

      You may also be eligible if you meet 2 of the following while living in an E rated or less home:

      • Reside in a recognized deprived LSOA 1-3 area
      • Get Council Tax rebates for low income
      • You or someone in your home is vulnerable to cold homes per NICE guidance
      • Referred by Local Authority Delivery (LAD) Scheme
      • Household gets free school meals
      • Citizens Advice, your energy supplier, or lender advised you to seek bill help

      How 0% VAT on Insulation Helps?

      The UK government has applied 0% VAT to all Energy Saving Materials, including cavity wall insulation, until the end of March 2027.

      This is automatically applied to reduce costs and stretch insulation grants further.

      Using LA Flex for Wall Insulation Grants

      It may surprise some that even if you don’t qualify for GBIS or ECO4 insulation grants, options still exist through LA Flex.

      LA Flex (Local Authority Flexible Eligibility Scheme) falls under ECO4 but has different eligibility rules. It empowers local authorities and councils to extend criteria to better support homes needing upgrades in their area.

      They still target vulnerable, low-income households with poor thermal efficiency. But LA Flex allows them to assist more homes that might otherwise not receive help.

      So even if GBIS or ECO4 grants don’t apply to you, LA Flex provides another potential avenue for insulation funding. Your local council can adjust eligibility to make upgrades affordable for more high-need homes through this flexible grant program.

        Cavity Wall Insulation Grants FAQs:

        Is cavity wall insulation free for everyone?

        No, not everyone will qualify for grants, and even those who do may not get the full insulation costs covered.

        However, cavity wall insulation is one of the most affordable and quickest ways to improve home efficiency. So even if you pay, it likely won’t break the bank!

        It’s supposed to last as long as the building stands. But if it gets damp from home disrepair, replacement is needed. With proper care, it will last the entire lifespan of the structure.

        Each grant program has its own application process. Our friendly experts can provide guidance on the specific process relevant to you if you contact us today.

        The cost of cavity wall insulation in the UK is hard to estimate because it depends on a variety of factors, including the size and nature of the property. Insulating a large detached home will cost a lot more than, say, insulating a tiny mid terrace.
