Why Orpington homes benefit from internal wall insulation
Real comfort improvement
Most Orpington homes lose 25-35% of their heat through uninsulated walls or roofs. Internal Wall Insulation cuts that loss dramatically and eliminates the cold spots and draughts that drive heating costs up.
Lower bills
A typical 3-bed home sees £300-£700 a year in heating bill savings depending on starting point and tariff. Depending on the measure, payback periods of 5-15 years are typical — with loft and floor insulation paying back fastest.
Adds value
Energy Performance Certificates feed directly into property valuations. Lifting an EPC band — common after this work — typically adds 1.5-3% to a home's sale price.
