Grants for new roof alternative, heat saving

Hope this is the right place????

There is rumour of a 40% grant available for houses over 30 years old with original roof that might be ready for re-roofing.
The new system for treating and insulating the external surface of concrete roof tiles in-situ, is already less expensive than a re-roof, but as the 'GREEN' Carbon issues of making concrete hit the headlines, this offer is on trial in certain areas. (Not sure where, but worth the ask, I guess).
All I know is that Mike Peters Roof Coating Co have been advertising in the North West,
Grants for over 50's. House over 30 yrs old, Roof with concrete or clay tiles.

  • are you sure this is a grant and not just an offer by the roofing company?
    we had a quote of £750 for simlar work,but all they do is clean the tiles,treat them to stop moss growing on the roof then apply a coat of paint to make it look like new.The problem with these old concrete or clay tiles is that over time(30/40 years)they wear thin and break easy when stood on,a coat of paint wont stop that
