Home Energy Efficiency Assessment in Walsall
One free visit to check your loft, walls, ventilation and draughts, then honest advice on which improvement will actually cut your bills fastest.
Most homeowners who call us know their house is expensive to heat, but not exactly why. Is it the loft? The walls? Draughts around old windows and doors? Usually it's a combination, and throwing money at the wrong one first is how people end up spending on improvements that barely move the needle. A home energy efficiency assessment is about finding out what's actually costing you money before you spend anything fixing it.
What we look at during the visit
We check your loft insulation depth against the recommended 270mm standard, look at whether your walls are cavity or solid and what condition any existing insulation is in, check ventilation at the eaves and in wet rooms, and go round doors and windows for obvious draughts. It's a genuinely thorough look at the building, not a five-minute glance followed by a sales pitch.
Why prioritisation matters more than doing everything
Not every improvement pays back at the same rate. Topping up thin loft insulation is often the cheapest, fastest win because heat rises and a huge share of it escapes straight through an under-insulated roof. Wall insulation, whether internal wall insulation for solid walls or cavity fill, usually costs more and takes longer to pay back, though it can still be worthwhile. Draught-proofing is often cheap and quick but only tackles part of the problem. We rank what we find by genuine payback, not by what's easiest for us to sell.
Grant funding advice included
As part of the assessment, we check whether your household might qualify for any current government energy schemes — the same eligibility check we do for our ECO4 loft insulation service — so if funding is available, you'll know about it as part of this visit rather than having to ask separately.
What you get afterwards
A written summary of what we found, in plain English, with our honest recommendation on what to do first, second and third — and roughly what each would cost. There's no obligation to book any of it through us, though of course we'd be glad to help if you decide to go ahead.
If you're not sure where to start with an expensive-to-heat home, this is exactly the service for finding out. It's free, and it comes with no pressure at all.

Frequently Asked Questions
We check your loft insulation depth, wall type and insulation condition, ventilation, and draughts around doors and windows, then give you a written, prioritised summary of what's costing you the most heat.
Yes. There's no cost to the visit and no requirement to book any of the work we recommend through us, though we're happy to help if you'd like us to.
It varies by home, but loft insulation is very often the quickest win because a large share of heat escapes through an under-insulated roof. We rank what we find for your specific property rather than giving a generic answer.
Yes, grant eligibility is checked as part of the assessment, in the same way as our ECO4 loft insulation eligibility check, so you'll know about any funding available alongside the rest of the findings.
Not at all. The assessment is designed to help you prioritise, whether you tackle one improvement or several, and there's no pressure to act on all of it or to use us for the work.
