Home Energy Improvements

About 35% of all heat loss from UK homes takes place through external walls. Most homes built after 1920 have twin exterior walls with a narrow cavity between them.

This can be filled with an insulating material by injecting mineral wool or beads into the wall. This restricts any warmth passing between them, reducing the money you spend on heating.
If you’re unsure whether your walls have a cavity in them you can usually check by either looking at the pattern of bricks or by measuring the thickness of the walls next to a door or window:
If the thickness of the wall is 260mm or greater, the wall probably has a cavity. With google maps our surveyors can tell if your house is a cavity wall construction The Energy Saving Trust estimates that an annual saving up to £400 can save when installing cavity wall insulation Reducing your carbon emissions and help protect the environment from climate change.

Heat from your house will rise resulting in about quarter of the heat generated being lost through the roof of an uninsulated home

Insulating the roof space of your home is the simplest, most cost-effective way of saving energy and reducing your heating bills.
Insulation should be applied to the loft area to a depth of at least 270mm, both between the joists and above as the joists themselves create a “heat bridge” and transfer heat to the air above.
With modern insulating techniques and materials, It’s still possible to use the space for storage or as a habitable space with the use of insulated floor panels. Loft insulation save up to £370
