Filling the cavities

Carbon emissions from homes - well we swapped out all the lightbulbs, put in double glazing - but then cavity wall insulation? Sounded like it was expensive for not a lot of return.

Well, - not so. A bit of investigation on the internet showed prices of only a few hundred pounds. So we called someone up and the salesman came around with a tape measure and grant application forms. £495 in total - but there is a £250 grant for everyone and a 100% grant for anyone claiming any sort of state benefits. So it only cost £245.

The guys turned up with a drill and a compressor thingy on their van. A couple of hours work and they were finished. The cavity walls are pumped full of this fluffy stuff and the house feels warmer already.

Job done.
