CIGA Cavity Wall Insulation guarantee available for high rise properties

The Cavity Insulation Guarantee Agency (CIGA) has been working closely with the British Board of Agrement and Manufacturers/System Designers to develop Cavity Wall Insulation (CWI) procedures to assess, fill and issue guarantees for high rise properties.

This CWI development has come about since the Government’s Green Deal and Energy Company Obligation (ECO) impact assessment identified significant potential for installing CWI in properties of more than 3 storeys high. This is due to the fact that CWI is one of the most effective energy saving measures that can be easily retrofitted to buildings and that also helps to reduce carbon emissions.

Gerry Miller, Chief Executive of CIGA, commented: “Significant potential exists for the fitment of CWI in higher rise properties and, although these are more costly to treat than standard buildings, we are able to offer the established CIGA Guarantee for such work. This announcement will help support delivery of the ECO and Green Deal initiatives by ensuring that consumers in such properties can benefit from the protection of the CIGA Guarantee and be entirely confident about having such work undertaken.”
