Top 7 Signs Your Home Might Need Cavity Wall Insulation

Have you noticed your home feeling colder than it should, even when the heating is on? Or maybe your energy bills seem higher than expected? If so, it could be time to think about cavity wall insulation.

At Cavitech UK, we’ve been helping homeowners across the country improve comfort and cut energy costs for over 10 years. Here are seven signs that your home might benefit from cavity wall insulation.

1. Your Energy Bills Are Too High

If you spent a lot on heating last winter but still didn’t feel warm, you might be losing heat through your walls. Homes without insulation lose a lot of warmth, which means your boiler has to work harder, and your bills go up.

2. Your Walls Feel Cold Inside

A quick way to check is to touch the inside walls of your house. If they feel cold, especially compared to inside walls that don’t face outside, that could be a sign your home isn’t well insulated.

3. Some Rooms Feel Colder Than Others

If certain rooms in your home are always colder, even with the doors closed and radiators on, the problem might be with the insulation in those external walls. Cavity wall insulation helps keep the heat in every part of the house.

4. You Feel Draughts You Can’t Explain

Even if your windows and doors are sealed, your home can still feel draughty if the walls are letting out heat. Adding insulation helps stop those chilly spots and makes the whole house feel warmer.

5. You See Damp or Mould on Outside Walls

Cold walls can lead to condensation, which over time can cause damp patches or mould. Cavity wall insulation can help reduce this by keeping your walls warmer and drier.

6. Your House Was Built Between 1920 and 1990

Most homes built in this period were made with cavity walls, but many were never insulated. If your house was built then and you’re not sure it’s been insulated, it’s worth checking.

7. You’ve Never Had Your Walls Checked

If you’ve lived in your home for years, or recently moved in, and you’ve never had the walls looked at, it’s a good idea to get them checked. Sometimes insulation can wear out or wasn’t installed properly in the first place.

What You Can Do Next

The good news is that cavity wall insulation can be installed quickly and with very little mess. It makes your home warmer, lowers your heating bills, and can even help with damp issues.
