CIGA Cavity Wall Claims

CIGA are the Cavity Wall Insulation Guarantee Agency and they have a role to play in the event you wish to proceed with a Cavity Wall Claim.

 

Cavity wall insulation first became popular in the 1990's when the first subsidised schemes were introduced. It was regarded as one of, if not the most, effective energy saving measures that people can undertake on their homes.

 

The purpose of cavity insulation was to insulate your property, which would make it more efficient to heat. Unfortunately, as time has passed, problems have become apparent causing people to investigate whether the insulation was fitted correctly.

 

When looking into the problem the first port of call is the installer. In many instances they can be either hard to find or they may not exist anymore. 

 

This is where the Cavity Insulation Guarantee Agency, or CIGA as it is more commonly known, comes into play. CIGA is an independent body that provides a 25 year guarantee for Cavity Wall insulation, subject to the fitter being registered.

 

Our cavity wall claims experts can investigate whether you have a valid claim, which could lead to £1,000's in compensation or rectification of the problem.
