CAVITY WALL INSULATION
PRODUCT GUIDE
More heat is lost through the walls of your home than in any other way. By investing in cavity wall
insulation you can significantly reduce the heat loss from your home. Maintaining the heat inside
your home keeps you warm and cosy when you need to be. It also works in reverse by keeping your
house cooler in the summer months.
Installing cavity wall insulation in your home will not only help to decrease your heating bills by saving
energy lost through the walls, it will also help to reduce your carbon footprint by limiting the amount of
CO2 and other greenhouse gases emitted from your property
CAVITY WALL INSULATION
Many houses since the late 1930’s were built with a cavity between
the inner and outer walls. Due to this cavity, many of Britain’s homes
have thermal performances which are well below the standards
required by current building regulations, with unacceptably high
levels of heat and energy loss through the walls. A system was
introduced in the 1970’s to inject insulation into these cavity walls,
a system which has been finessed by Market Owl’s approved
installers.
Cavity wall insulation is suitable for houses which have a cavity
space of at least 40mm between bricks, and held together with
wall ties. Unfortunately timber framed, steel framed, random stone
and solid wall properties are not suitable for cavity wall insulation.
However, they may be suitable for our external wall insulation.
Market Owl’s approved installers of various types of cavity wall
insulation systems, and can offer specific advice on which system
will best suit the property in question. All work is carefully monitored
to ensure that the best standards are achieved and technical
regulations are being adhered to.

THE INSTALLATION PROCESS
THE PROCESS
The installation process is designed to be as hassle-free for you
as possible and takes just a couple of hours for the average
property to have cavity wall insulation fitted.
1
Our surveyor will advise you of the cost for installing cavity
wall insulation and any non-repayable grant that you may be
entitled to.
2
The installer’s call centre will contact you to arrange a
convenient time for one of their crews to come and carry out
the work.
3
All loose items around the exterior of the property are
removed, and temporarily stored away from the wall surface.
If required, any plant growth is either restrained or cut back to
clear the working area.
4
Installation of the insulation commences once site is prepared
and safe.
5
Each elevation of the property has small holes carefully drilled
out in compliance with the BBA specification.
6
Insulation from our specially-equipped vans is blown by a long
hose through the holes into each of the property’s elevations.
7
Once all walls have been treated, the holes are filled and the
site is cleaned and previously removed items are replaced.
8
Final inspection of site is completed with you before the job is
signed off.
9
You receive your 25 year CIGA (Cavity Insulation Guarantee
Agency) guarantee in the post which covers any unlikely
defects in materials and workmanship.

environment.
