Cavity Wall
What is EPS Bead Insulation?
Cavity wall insulation using EPS bonded bead is one of the most effective ways to improve the energy efficiency of your home. Designed to reduce heat loss, prevent cold spots, and lower energy bills, EPS bead insulation offers long-lasting performance with minimal disruption to your property.
EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) bead insulation consists of small, lightweight beads that are injected into the cavity between your external and internal walls. Once installed, the beads interlock and are bonded with a specialist adhesive, creating a breathable yet highly insulating layer.

Exceptional Thermal Performance: Keeps heat inside your home, reducing energy consumption and improving comfort all year round.
Even Coverage Throughout the Cavity: Unlike some traditional materials, EPS beads flow freely to fill gaps and prevent air pockets, ensuring maximum insulation.
Moisture-Resistant & Breathable: Beads do not absorb water and allow the cavity to breathe, helping reduce the risk of damp or mould.
Non-Degrading & Long-Lasting: EPS bead insulation maintains its structure and effectiveness over time.
Quick, Clean Installation: Most properties can be insulated in just a few hours with minimal mess and disruption.
Our Process
Pre-Installation Survey
A trained surveyor assesses your property to ensure it is suitable for insulation. This includes checking:
- Wall construction
- Cavity condition
- Ventilation
- Any existing insulation that may need removing
We only proceed once we are satisfied your property is a safe and suitable candidate.
Drilling the Injection Points
Small holes (approx. 22-26mm) are drilled into the external walls in a precise pattern. This ensures even distribution of the EPS beads throughout the entire cavity.
Injection of EPS Bonded Beads
Using specialist equipment, EPS beads mixed with a bonding agent are injected into the cavity under controlled pressure. The beads flow freely into all areas of the cavity, filling gaps and eliminating air pockets to deliver consistent insulation performance
Sealing the Holes
Once the cavity is fully filled, the drilled holes are filled with colour-matched mortar to blend seamlessly with your existing brickwork or render. This leaves a clean, tidy finish
Final Quality Checks
A full post-installation inspection ensures:
- The cavities are completely filled
- Ventilation is unobstructed
- The finish is neat and uniform
Customers are provided with all relevant documentation and warranties.
Why Choose EPS Beads Over Other Materials?
EPS beads offer greater versatility and longevity compared to older insulation types like mineral wool or rigid boards. They are particularly effective in difficult or uneven cavities, providing consistent coverage and superior insulation values.
Is Your Property Suitable?
Most modern cavity-wall properties built after the 1930s are suitable for EPS bead insulation. Our experts will carry out a full survey to assess cavity condition, ventilation, and any existing insulation that may need removal before installation.
