Would you have cavity wall insulation if it was free?

Question

especially considering that it would be more enviromentally friendly, made your house warmer,saved you money and only took 4 hours to complete? The reason I ask is because I've been offered a job where I get paid commission for each person who agrees to have it installed. Why wouldn't you have it installed?

Answer 1

Where do people get the idea tha you will have decorating to do? It is installed by drilling a number of holes in the outside wall, which are then filled in. There is no reason I can possibly think of for saying no. The heat savings are tremendous, far more than replacement windows, yet people will spend thousands on them and turn down free or low priced cavity wall insulation. If it didn't work, why do the new Buiding Regulations INSIST on all external walls being insulated in new buildings? Go for it!

Answer 2

Without a doubt. Someone in our office (5 people) mentioned a scheme where you could get cavity and loft insulation at a ridiculously reduced price of around £100. 4 out of 5 of us applied for it - one lived in a new build so it wasnt relevant. 3 got it and I dipped out because apparently my house had been insulated 20 odd years ago with foam and although the insulation had deteriorated and was useless, it would have to be removed before new stuff put in. The only risk of mess inside is if you have broken plaster/gaps around window areas - foam is put in under pressure and can seep through gaps. Thes free/discounted schemes are genuine and the idea is to cut down on use heating and reduce the use of power for environmental reasons. I would be careful about taking a job which works on commission only - do you get commission on people that apply or people that actually take up the sceme, are your 'would be' employers a well known company and does the area you would be dealing with have the right sort of properties?

Answer 3

If we lived in a house with cavity walls, then yes. But since we're in an old tenement, then it's absolutely no use to us.

Free double glazed conservation sash and case with Edinburgh profile is something we'd seriously consider. Anyone offering?

Answer 4

Yes I would have cavity wall insulation done, Free - its not free in my area Teesside unless you are a pensioner or a state sponger. the cost for this in a 3bedroom house (semi det) is £250.00.

Cavity wall insulation is done via drilling holes in the outside wall in between the mortar, any mess is outside,

good look my friend as you will need it.

Answer 5

Have you been offered a job at a charitable institution which provide free insulation and pays you commission?
It seems there is no such thing as free lunch!

Answer 6

I have had this done completely free, its normally only free to people or families on low incomes!!

You need to do some research into the type of areas that you are going to canvass!! It will help you make you mind up!!

Answer 8

I would, I am well aware of how most of our winter heat is flowing straight through our window panes. I wouldn't have it installed if I had to rely on British builders though, unless it was by a proper firm with guarantees of tidy, respectful working practises.

Answer 9

It is a must have as it acts like a tea cosy does on a teapot. The old foam was a bit dodgy due to the fumes but the latest ROCKWOOL is perfect.
I have it and it works really well.

Answer 10

I would have it if it was free.I would probably not if I had to pay for it because I would think it be difficult if not impossible to install in our cob walled house and would no doubt cost a great deal.
