Cavity Wall Insulation

In June 2022, SmartStone Energy Solutions, recognised insulation services specialists, were commissioned to deliver energy-saving upgrades at the Metropolitan Police Dog Handling Training Centre in Keston, Kent.

As a working police training facility with multiple breeding units, kennels, and specialised accommodation, the site required an insulation solution that was not only highly efficient but also non-disruptive and long-lasting.

Project overview: what was installed?

SmartStone completed a full cavity wall insulation upgrade across key buildings within the centre, with a focus on:

  • Breeding blocks
  • Kennel units

 

Using high-performance insulation materials, the aim was to reduce heat loss, improve internal comfort, and help decarbonise the Metropolitan Police buildings. The installation was carried out with strict adherence to security protocols and operational continuity, a testament to SmartStone’s experience in working with sensitive, mission-critical environments.

Why insulation mattered for Keston

Police dog handling facilities must maintain consistent internal temperatures for animal welfare, staff comfort, and energy efficiency. Older buildings are prone to:

  • Rapid heat loss
  • Costly to heat
  • Environmentally inefficient

 

By installing modern cavity wall insulation, SmartStone helped the site:

  • Cut heating demand
  • improve year-round temperature stability
  • Reduce energy bills
  • Assist with reaching decarbonisation targets

Benefits beyond savings

This project reflects how targeted retrofit solutions can dramatically impact both operational costs and sustainability goals. SmartStone’s expertise ensured:

  • Minimal disruption to the working site
  • Compliance with insulation standards and building regulations
  • Immediate and long-term benefits
