ISDE for cavity wall insulation

Cavity wall insulation involves filling the space between the inner and outer walls with insulating material. Subsidy eligibility depends on conditions including the surface area and insulation value.

We inspect the wall cavity, brick pointing and external wall beforehand. This prevents insulation from being installed in an unsuitable wall and ensures an accurate quote.

Suited to your home

A comprehensive approach to your façade

Good cavity wall insulation starts with a sound, suitable external wall.

01

Wall cavity inspection

We assess the cavity width, debris, signs of damp and existing insulation before making a recommendation.

  • Technical inspection
  • The right choice of materials
  • Clear quotation
02

Fill the wall cavity

The insulation material is distributed evenly throughout the wall cavity through small drilled holes.

  • Minimal disruption
  • Quick completion
  • Drill holes neatly filled
03

Check the brick pointing

Damaged brick pointing can let moisture in and is therefore taken into account in the assessment.

  • Healthy external walls
  • Better protection
  • A neat finish

How does this step benefit you?

  • Warmer interior walls

    Walls feel less cold and rooms stay more comfortable.

  • Fewer draughts

    Cold draughts along external walls are reduced.

  • Quick completion

    The work can often be completed within one working day.

  • Minimal disruption

    The material is blown in from the outside.

  • Lower heating demand

    Your home retains the heat generated more effectively.

  • Subsidy application support

    We help gather the correct information for the application.

How do cavity wall insulation grants work?

Cavity wall insulation is eligible for the Dutch government's national ISDE grant. You receive a fixed amount per square metre insulated. If you have two or more insulation measures installed within two years, such as cavity wall and roof insulation, the amount per square metre doubles.

Many local authorities also offer their own insulation grants, which can often be combined with ISDE. You'll find the current conditions for each local authority on our local grant pages.

ISDE grant eligibility criteria

ISDE requirements include a minimum area to be insulated and a minimum thermal performance for the material. The work must be carried out by a qualified company, and you apply for the grant using the invoice, proof of payment and installation details. The exact conditions may change each year; we check them for you.

  • You own and live in the property.
  • The insulation is installed in an existing home.
  • The material meets the required thermal performance standard.
  • The work is professionally carried out and documented.

Is your home suitable for cavity wall insulation?

Most homes built between around 1920 and 1975 have cavity walls with little or no insulation. During an inspection, we measure the cavity width, check for debris and moisture, and assess the condition of the pointing. We only recommend insulation if the external walls are suitable.

Which insulation material is used?

We insulate the cavity with glass wool. The glass wool is blown in through small drill holes and fills the cavity evenly. The holes are then neatly sealed in the colour of the pointing.

Combine measures for a larger grant

Cavity wall insulation works well alongside roof insulation, floor insulation, crawl space ground insulation and energy-efficient glazing. Combining two or more measures reduces heat loss even further and doubles the ISDE grant per square metre.

Frequently asked questions

How much grant funding can I get for cavity wall insulation?

The ISDE grant pays a fixed amount per square metre insulated. If you combine two or more measures within two years, that amount doubles. A local authority scheme may also be available. We calculate how much you could receive for your home.

When should I apply for the grant?

You apply for an ISDE insulation grant after the work has been completed, using the invoice and proof of payment. Some local authority schemes require you to apply in advance. We'll explain which steps to take and when.

Can I combine ISDE with a local authority grant?

In many areas, yes. Conditions vary between local authorities, so we check this for your specific address.

How long does cavity wall insulation take?

For an average home, cavity wall insulation is often completed within one working day. No building work is needed inside, as the material is blown in from outside.

Does Greenisolatie help with grant applications?

Yes. We check which schemes are available for your home, record the required installation details and help with your application.

How much does cavity wall insulation cost?

The cost depends on the area of the external walls and the condition of the cavity. Request a free quote for a tailored proposal.
