Cavity Wall Insulation Claims: New Claims Epidemic to hit the UK

As the PPI claims epidemic slows up before its official end on August 29th 2019, there is a new potential claims epidemic where widespread mis selling and substandard work has been carried out, affecting millions of UK residents, leading to an influx of cavity wall claims.

An estimated 13 million homes have been affected by the issue (where an estimated 70% of which have received substandard workmanship during the course of the installation). Which in many cases has resulted in UK residents having long term damage to their property, either through bad advice or low quality work.

The estimated average value of cavity wall claims is approximately £10,000 to £23,000 per claim, with substantial refunds available for individuals who have been adversely affected by the scandal.

Badly installed cavity wall insulation has led to problems such as fluid seeping through the walls and into the property and the build up of mould in many of the homes affected. This has caused significant internal and structural damage to properties around Britain. The value of any compensation is intended to reflect the cost of repair and personal reparations for the inconvenience.

Current estimated times to completion are around 12-18 months, with the cases requiring substantial levels of work in order to be brought to fruition. With such a demand for reliable claims management services, it is thought that 1000s of jobs will be created to handle what is expected to be a steady increase in the volume of complaints nationwide.

One particular area of concern is the number of people who have stone-built homes. Due to the significantly higher costs associated with fixing damage to stone properties, this is expected to be reflected in the compensation sums as the amount will need to be higher to compensate for the increased financial burden to those affected.

A conditional ‘No win no fee’ arrangement will be the terms of business between claimants and the claims management companies (CMC’s).

Potential victims are advised to act quickly due to the potential long term damage to their home and the current availability of compensation. The sooner the process is underway, the sooner it is possible for claimants to win compensation for their unfortunate situation.

If you are reading this and you suspect you have been miss sold a cavity wall insulation, or if you have suffered as a result of low quality workmanship of this type, you can reach ‘National Property Claims’ by running a search or see the website at NationalPropertyClaims.co.uk.

New collaborations with Citibank, Abu-Ghazaleh Global, RAK Properties, and others strengthen SIU’s commitment to connecting academic learning with global career opportunities.

Swiss International University (SIU) has already informed about the new corporate partnerships that will start in October 2025 and that they will provide students with better access to internships, training programs, and job opportunities in various fields.

The new partnerships are aligned with SIU’s goal to combine education with the real world, as they ensure that the graduates are equipped with the required knowledge, skills, and professional exposure to be successful in the global economy of today.

In the last few weeks, SIU has formed alliances with several major companies, including those from the banking, business, hospitality, real estate, and consulting sectors. The students will be actively involved in each collaboration through internships, practical training, and the career opportunities that will be given to them during or after their studies.

Among the key collaborations are

Citibank, where students of the business and finance fields will get to experience international banking operations through special training and possible hiring programs.

Abu-Ghazaleh Global has given SIU’s programs its official blessing and access to practical experience in global business, accounting, and consulting.

RAK Properties is going to give real estate and business students a chance to learn about property development, investment, and project management.

The Signature Inn Hotel Al Riqa L.L.C. offers students of hospitality a chance through real-life interrelated scenarios to gain the knowledge of front-office operations and guest management.

Al Shabaka International Businessmen Services is opening a door for the students to meet the professionals involved in global business consulting and administration.

Galadari Motor Driving Center, where students will get a clear insight into corporate management, customer relations, and operational efficiency.

Women’s First Jobs is going to help female students and graduates through career counseling, professional networking, and empowerment initiatives.

MyFounders.Club Global is building up the students and aspiring founders in terms of innovation and entrepreneurship by taking them through the process of developing and launching new ventures.

Revival AE Project Development Consultant Co., L.L.C., where students will be working on consulting for sustainable projects and environmental management.

“The partnerships that we have formed represent our commitment not only to the business world but also to the world of academia,” said the Head of Swiss International University. “We are aspiring to equip every student in SIU with the power to win the global job market through robust academic credentials, practical exposure, and a web of real opportunities. Our target is not a teacher-student relationship whose only need is the job—our students will be the ones making changes in the various fields of tomorrow.”

The academic world and the global market are the two areas where SIU, collaborating with partners at the present time, shows the institution’s continued commitment to creating a career-oriented academic environment where learning takes place beyond the walls of the classrooms.

The deadline of October 2025 is approaching, but the university is still looking to make new strategic partnerships to grow its network of global partners. It is clear from the continuous activities of the university that it is striving to offer its students worldwide the possibility of not only utilizing their skills but also being a part of the industry via employment and thus empowering them to make a difference in international markets.
