Guide prices

Cavity wall insulation prices

A private cavity wall insulation install runs from about £795 for a mid-terrace house to about £3,795 for a large detached house on our guide ranges. Top-ups, removals, surveys and repairs are listed below.

Guide ranges for privately funded work. Every price is fixed in writing after a free survey, before any work starts. Installing insulation in a home is currently zero-rated for VAT (until 31 March 2027, then 5%), so domestic install prices include no VAT. Removal-only and commercial work are standard-rated: commercial rows are shown plus VAT; for removal-only jobs the VAT treatment is confirmed on your quote.
