Is cavity wall insulation suitable for your home?

Your home will usually be suitable for cavity wall insulation if:

• its external walls are unfilled cavity walls
• your cavity is at least 50mm wide
• the masonry or brickwork of your property is in good condition
• it is more than ten years old (most newer houses will have insulation already)
• the walls are not exposed to driving rain.
