Cavity Wall Insulation for the Heat Project

Options
Has anyone had a quote from the Heat Project. I want to know if the price they quote on the website for non detached homes at £125 will change when they come out to survey my property.

I have a five bed semi which seems to add to the cost.

I have had a quote today from Scottish Power for £205 but will hold on if the above is a realistic cost.

    I've just been quoted £170 for my 3 bed semi by Milfold/British Gas, and that was supposed to be half price!
    I decided against it after all, I don't think the small saving in fuel is worth the risk. It will only save me £1000 over my lifetime, which pales into insignificance against the potential cost of any remedial work.
