External Wall Insulation Grants
What is External Wall Insulation?
External wall insulation is a highly effective way to improve the energy efficiency of homes with solid walls. It works by applying insulation boards and a protective render to the outside of your property, creating a thermal barrier that stops heat from escaping. This upgrade is perfect for older properties โ particularly those built before the 1920s that donโt have cavity walls โ and can also enhance the look of your home.
If you meet the eligibility criteria, you could receive external wall insulation completely free of charge through government-backed funding such as the ECO4 and GBIS schemes. These grants are designed to help homeowners lower heating costs and improve their propertyโs energy performance.

How External Wall Insulation Works
External wall insulation is designed for properties with solid walls โ typically older homes that canโt benefit from cavity wall insulation. The installation process involves securing high-performance insulation panels to the outside of your property, which are then covered with a durable render or cladding.
This system creates a strong thermal layer that helps trap warmth inside your home, reduces cold spots, and even keeps interiors cooler during the summer. As an added bonus, it can also refresh the exterior appearance of your property.
With funding available through schemes like ECO4 and GBIS, many homeowners can have external wall insulation installed at no personal cost.
