Questions to Ask Your Installer
• Are you certified and approved to install cavity wall insulation?
• What insulation material do you recommend for my wall type and why?
• Do you offer a warranty or guarantee for your work?
How to Avoid Surprises
• Confirm that your walls are suitable (unfilled cavities, no structural defects or damp)
• Request a detailed written quote covering survey, materials, labour and post-installation checks
• Check for government grants or local schemes that may subsidise insulation costs
