Answer

How much does external solid wall insulation cost?

External solid wall insulation typically costs £8,000–£22,000 in the UK and saves around £300–£600 a year on heating, with payback of about 10–20 years.

Insulation is the cheapest way to cut bills and is the smart first step before a heat pump — a warmer, tighter home needs a smaller, cheaper system.
