This means it is unlikely they would be able to afford the upgrades necessary to rectify insulation and damp conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sir Michael Marmot, the director of the UCL Institute of Health Equity commented the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Cold homes are a public health hazard: those living in them have much higher risk of developing poor physical and mental health and this is adding burden on to an already overstretched NHS, and contributing to poor productivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe need urgent action to address poverty, the cost of fuel and to insulate the homes of the poorest, not just because the government has a moral duty to look after the health of its population, but also, frankly, because it makes economic sense, too\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Government\u2019s Response to the Report<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The UK government has responded to the report with a representative responded saying the figures:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cdid not take into account homes which have some, but not all, of the insulation measures\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEveryone has the right to a warm, secure and decent home \u2013 almost half of all homes in England now have an EPC rating of C or above, up from just 14 per cent in 2010.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The English Housing Survey defines properties with an EPC (Energy Performance) rating of D or lower as a poorly insulated property. To achieve an EPC rating of C or above would require things like an efficient boiler, double-glazed windows or LED lights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Solutions for Cold, Damp and Poorly Insulated Homes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most cost effective ways to improve the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentokil.co.uk\/blog\/improve-your-epc-rating\/\"><strong>EPC rating<\/strong><\/a> in a home is by improving the insulation. This can be as simple as applying or upgrading the insulation in the loft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentokil.co.uk\/damp-proofing\/damp-survey\/\"><strong>professional damp survey<\/strong><\/a> will also get to the root cause of the damp problems and indicate how to fix them permanently. This can avoid performing any misguided DIY repairs that may cost money but not necessarily resolve the damp problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentokil.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG-7548-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rentokil.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG-7548-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-21538\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rentokil.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG-7548-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.rentokil.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG-7548-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.rentokil.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG-7548-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/www.rentokil.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG-7548-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.rentokil.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/IMG-7548-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Benefits of Insulation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Aside from the immediate benefit of warm homes, insulation has further benefits to a household. As insulation stops heat escaping your home, it can reduce your heating bills, as homes stay warmer for longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Insulation can help a property achieve an EPC rating of C or above. EPC rating refers to the energy efficiency of a household. A higher EPC rating can make a property look more appealing to prospective buyers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Your Household Suffering From Damp?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Damp problems can cause significant damage to properties, but sometimes it just takes simple steps to prevent issues with damp and mould.
