Stud walls are more robust than insulation boards, being able to withstand the weight of cupboards, shelving and other similar fixtures more easily, although they are thicker as well.
No matter which option you choose, you will need to undergo removal and/or replacement of fixtures like skirting boards, switches, shelves, etc.
One of the most common ways of preventing this heat loss is by insulating the internal walls, with mechanical fixation and gluing of insulated PIR boards to your existing walls being a suitable method for most homes.
Government Energy Grants’ certified team of installers will perform a quick survey to check your property’s suitability for free internal wall insulation, while also double checking that you qualify for the grant. The entire job will be performed to the highest standard and in a minimally invasive manner, providing a __ year guarantee after completion.
It’s possible that you may be eligible to get an internal wall insulation grant 100% free under the Government-backed ECO scheme. Just give us a call and our survey team will let you know what the next steps are to take advantage of the scheme.
Furthermore, the property you’re living in should be privately owned by you and if you’re a tenant, then it needs to be owned by the same. In addition, the property should have solid walls only.

The Energy Company Obligation (ECO) is a Government energy efficiency scheme set up to help reduce carbon emissions and tackle fuel poverty. The scheme was launched in April 2013 and over time it has been amended once certain obligation were hit. The scheme aims to help low income and vulnerable households with a free grant so that they can afford new energy saving measures. These grants are completely free and not repaid under any circumstances. The value of Grant you receive is based on your property and what improvements can be made.
You need to be a customer of one of the medium to large energy providers in the UK. You will need to own or rent a home with an EPC rating of A to E. However, if you are renting, you will only get certain energy efficient grants and you will need permission from your landlord to obtain the energy measures entitled to you under the grant schemes. Social housing properties are not eligible to qualify for grants under ECO, however it is always best to contact your local council authority. Finally, you or your tenant will need to qualify for a range of UK benefits.
Ofgem is a non-ministerial government department and an independent national regulatory authority. Their objective is to protect the interest of the consumers and is responsible for delivering and regulating government schemes, such as this one.
