Losing 35% of Your Heat Through Uninsulated Walls? Get Internal And External Wall Insulation Grants in Birmingham
When rooms feel cold and heating runs nonstop, your walls are usually the culprit. We help you secure funding, choose the right system for your property, and complete a tidy, compliant install. Whether you need an internal lining for solid brick or a full external wrap and render, we handle the grant, survey, installation, and sign‑off so you get warmer rooms and lower bills without the paperwork chase.
Which Option Suits Your Home?
Internal wall insulation (IWI) : best for solid walls when you want to keep the exterior unchanged.
- What it is: insulated plasterboard or stud systems fitted to the inside face of external walls, finished to a paint‑ready surface.
- When it helps most: older properties with solid brick or stone where there’s no cavity. A good fit when you’re planning to redecorate anyway.
External wall insulation (EWI): best when you want a complete thermal wrap and fresh facade.
- What it is: rigid insulation fixed to outside walls, reinforced mesh and basecoat, then a render or cladding finish.
- When it helps most: homes with tired render, patchy brickwork, or persistent cold spots. Also great for improving curb appeal.
Who Typically Qualifies For Internal & External Wall Insulation Grants Birmingham?
- Property type: solid walls (common pre‑1920) or poorly insulated external walls.
- Tenure: homeowners and private tenants (landlord permission needed). We also assess special cases via local routes.
- EPC and need: lower EPC bands (D–G) or homes with high heat loss.
- Income or circumstances: standard ECO criteria or LA Flex (health or vulnerability). Outside wall insulation grants and outside insulation grant references often point to these same paths.

FAQs – Everything You Need to Know

Fully funded cases sometimes appear online as free exterior wall insulation — we’ll tell you if that applies to you.
We recommend based on wall type, budget, disruption tolerance, and desired finish. Internal preserves the outside look. External adds a new facade and a continuous thermal wrap.
If damp is caused by cold walls and condensation, insulation plus correct ventilation usually helps. If there’s penetrating damp or leaks, we’ll address that before installing.
Most homes don’t, as EWI is often permitted development. Listed buildings or special areas may need consent. We check before work begins.
IWI: typically days, completed room by room. EWI: usually 1–2 weeks depending on size and weather. We give firm dates after the survey.
