Cavity wall insulation for flats across the West Midlands
We cover 17 towns in the West Midlands, including Birmingham, Coventry, Wolverhampton, Dudley, Walsall and more.
Local weather affects which walls can be filled. The West Midlands has a mix of moderate and more exposed sites. Hilltop, coastal and west-facing walls take the brunt of wind-driven rain, so the survey records exposure for each elevation before a material is chosen.
Blocks of flats in the West Midlands are surveyed as a whole, because the cavity runs across every flat in the building. For landlords and managing agents in the West Midlands, we survey in batches and return a result sheet and fixed price per address.
Building Regulations in England
Filling an existing cavity wall is notifiable building work in England. Either a building notice goes to building control before the work, or the installer self-certifies it through a government-approved competent person scheme such as CIGA's CWISC scheme. The insulation used must also be suitable for the wall it goes into, which is why the survey checks construction, condition and exposure first.
Funding in England
- ECO4, the energy-supplier scheme, has been extended to 31 December 2026 and government has said there will be no successor supplier obligation.
- The Great British Insulation Scheme closed as planned on 31 March 2026.
- Warm Homes: Local Grant supports low-income households in England through councils, and the January 2026 Warm Homes Plan sets out fully funded upgrades for low-income homes, with more detail still being published.

Why one flat cannot usually be done alone
The cavity runs continuously across the building. The Energy Saving Trust notes that flats need agreement from the whole block. Filling one flat's walls in isolation leaves gaps, and the freeholder normally owns the structure.
