Cavity wall insulation, done properly, or done again.

Filling an empty cavity is the cheapest big saving most homes can make, and fixing a failed fill is the job most installers walk past. We do both, for a single house and for whole housing programmes, with our own crews and the household at home.

What is cavity wall insulation?

Fill the gap, stop the heat loss

Cavity wall insulation involves injecting insulation material (Supafil 40) into the gap between the inner and outer walls of your home. Up to 35% of heat loss occurs through uninsulated walls.

Terraced streets in Kirklees, West Yorkshire, where Energy Giants is extracting and refilling failed cavity insulation for the council
Case study

Failed fill out, walls dried, refilled. Fifty one homes and counting.

Kirklees Council called us off its housing framework to deal with failed cavity insulation across its stock in Huddersfield and Dewsbury: extraction, damp proofing where rising damp was feeding the wall, refill with Supafil 40, full ventilation, and making good, with every household at home. Delivered to PAS 2035 and TrustMark requirements with a file the council can audit.

FAQs

Cavity wall insulation questions, answered

What is cavity wall insulation?

Cavity wall insulation involves injecting insulation material into the gap (cavity) between the two layers of brick that make up your external walls. This fills the void and prevents heat from escaping through the walls.

How long does installation take?

Usually just 2 to 3 hours for an average sized home. It is one of the quickest and least disruptive insulation measures available.

What is Supafil 40?

Supafil 40 is a premium glass mineral wool insulation material manufactured by Knauf. It offers excellent thermal performance, is noncombustible, and is specifically designed for injection into wall cavities.

Will it damage my walls?

No. Small holes are drilled in the mortar joints, not the bricks themselves, and are carefully filled and colour matched afterwards. Once complete, you will barely notice any difference to the appearance of your walls.

Do you work for councils, housing associations and contractors?

Yes. Cavity wall insulation and failed fill extraction is the measure we deliver most often at scale. Kirklees Council is the worked example: 51 homes extracted, dried and refilled by July 2026 under a housing framework, residents at home. See the case study or our sub contracting page.

What if my cavity insulation has failed?

Slumped or wet fill shows up as cold patches, damp at the base of walls and condensation the household gets blamed for. The fix is not more insulation on top. We extract the old material through drilled points, check the cavity is clear and dry, deal with the cause, then refill to specification. It is the bulk of our council work and we do it for private homes too.

Is there funding for cavity wall insulation?

Funding changes often, so ask us for the current position. As of September 2026 the Warm Homes: Local Grant, run through councils, funds insulation for eligible lower income households, and social landlords have the Warm Homes: Social Housing Fund. We deliver under these programmes for councils and landlords, and we will tell a homeowner honestly whether they are likely to qualify.
