The Insulation Survey
Both the loft and cavity walls will require a survey prior to the installation of Cavity Wall Insulation or Loft Insulation. This will determine the suitability of the property for insulation measures. This FREE survey typically takes around 20 to 30 minutes and you are not obliged to go ahead.
Please see our home page for an overview of the Insulation Grants and the benefits of installing home insulation.
