Southall Metropolitan Police Station: Insulation Measures

Project Overview

Working alongside SW Bruce, SmartStone visited Southall Metropolitan Police Station in Middlesex. They required cavity wall extract followed by refill installation. This project forms a key part of efforts to improve energy efficiency within police buildings, reducing heat loss and lowering carbon emissions. 

The huge cavity wall extract and refill project included an area of over 3600m², focusing on improving thermal efficiency within the police station. Firstly, with cavity wall extract eliminating defective material, followed by insulating the cavity walls of the station with high-performance insulation, we’ve helped create a warmer and more energy-efficient environment, supporting the force’s drive toward sustainable operations.

Southall Police Station now benefits from:

• Reduced heat loss – maintaining internal temperatures more effectively.
• Lower energy costs – reducing reliance on heating systems and cutting bills.
• Reduced carbon emissions – supporting the UK’s decarbonisation targets.
• Enhanced sustainability – contributing to long-term energy-efficient infrastructure for public services.

Why Cavity Wall Insulation Matters in Public Buildings

Proper insulation in public sector buildings is crucial for energy efficiency, occupant comfort, and environmental responsibility. SmartStone’s retrofit solutions provide measurable benefits:

• Optimised internal temperatures for staff and visitors
• Lower operational energy costs
• Support for compliance with government decarbonisation initiatives

Cavity Wall FAQs

What is cavity wall extract and refill?

Cavity wall extract is where old or ineffective cavity wall insulation is removed and replaced with a high-performance material. This improves the thermal efficiency of the building and reduces heat loss, while lowering energy costs.

Why is cavity wall insulation important for public sector buildings?

Proper cavity wall insulation in public sector buildings helps maintain internal temperatures, reduces heating costs, supports government decarbonisation initiatives, and creates more sustainable, energy-efficient infrastructure.

Who can install cavity wall insulation in commercial or public buildings?

Only qualified, accredited installers should carry out cavity wall insulation in commercial or public buildings. SmartStone Energy Solutions works with trusted partners to ensure compliance with industry standards and government decarbonisation schemes.
