Cavity wall failings must be watershed moment for home insulation ambitions: Nic Gillanders

The BBC has uncovered hundreds of thousands of cavity-wall insulation projects, installed under government-backed green energy schemes, were improperly fitted, leaving UK residents in potentially hazardous living conditions. This alarming situation highlights the necessity for immediate action to improve standards and ensure the safety of all residents.

As such, raising mandatory training, professional and material standards and accreditation, alongside more effective oversight and accountability, are crucial steps towards a greener and safer future for UK residents. With an estimated 225,000 additional workers needed to meet UK construction demands by 2027, while also supporting the UK’s 2030 retrofitting targets, it is critical that existing and upcoming workforces are trained to the highest health and safety standards.
