The insertion of cavity wall insulation in all types of building must comply with the requirements of the Building Regulations 2010. This means that the wall must meet the current energy efficiency requirements for walls and that other aspects of the building, such as fire safety, ventilation and resistance to moisture, must be no less satisfactory than before the cavity wall was insulated.
