Planning for EPC C
Government has confirmed that private rented homes in England will need to reach EPC band C by October 2030, with a £10,000 cost cap and exemptions. A filled cavity often contributes a meaningful share of the points needed, and it can be done with tenants in place because the work is outside.

Rules and funding by nation
The building regulations route and the funding schemes differ between England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. The local pages for your area explain the rules where you are; in short:
- England: Filling a cavity is notifiable building work and needs a building notice or competent-person self-certification.
- Wales: Filling a cavity is notifiable work under the Building Regulations as they apply in Wales, usually self-certified through a competent person scheme.
- Scotland: No building warrant is needed for insulation within a wall, but the work must meet the building standards.
- Northern Ireland: Inserting cavity wall insulation needs a building control application to the council before work starts.
