Insulating Solid Walls

How to cut your energy bills when you don't have cavity walls

The handouts for this event explain some of the issues and have useful links: download it here For more information do look at our insulation FAQ

Solid wall insulation used to be too expensive for most of us but now there are grants available through the ECO (Energy Companies Obligation). Part of this scheme is targeted at 'hard to treat' homes and you don't need to be on benefits to qualify.

You can insulate on the inside or on the outside or with a mixture of the two (e.g. inside at the front and outside at the back). Either way you can dramatically cut your heating bills and at the same time make your home more comfortable.

Watch this video to see how some neighbours in Bristol got on with fitting out their terraced homes.
