Tens of thousands of homes have received wall insulation under government-backed schemes, which may result in serious health issues due to systemic installation failures. Labour minister Miatta Fahnbulleh reported that a majority of this insulation was not installed to required standards, creating risks of damp and mould over time. The government urges homeowners contacted for audits to participate in checks, emphasizing the need for early identification and remediation of poor installations without cost to homeowners. Solid walls are mainly found in properties built before the 1920s.
