Can anyone tell me how much a loft insulation should rougly cost as I have no idea! My flat is pretty big and I had a guy out who quoted over £1,000 so of course I said no as I couldn't afford it!

I think it's a big area but not £1,000 big! I did a rough calc and think the total area is ~1,191 sq foot.

I would advise you call the Energy Saving Trust, as they have guide prices for the installation. £1000 seems pretty expensive. The EST will then direct you to (most likely) CIGA who has a list of qualified installers. The EST can also offer you a grant of £75 towards the cost.

Well I'm trawling through this world-wide-web, finding it very hard to get information about grants/discounts/etc.

British Gas reckon our boiler can't be fixed if it breaks down again-no parts anymore, but its only 10 years old I think (we just moved in Dec 02).

So I'm currently paying British Gas 20 odd quid a month so that they can repair my "unrepairable" boiler-should it break again-WHICH IT WILL OF COURSE!

Living in Darwen, Blackburn (BB3) there doesn't seem to be anything on offer here. Not on benefits-except Child Benefit (for 22 month baby) and CTC.

Disabled-(nerve damage to right arm, in pain all day, every day, cannot hold a can of pop for more than five minutes, hand does release grip without me realising, baby to look after-hard work!)-but NOT DISABLED ENOUGHT for DLA!

So whats on offer for a young mum and her family? All I want is to get a new boiler and stop British Gas upping my blinking gas bills!!! - note-moving to Scottish Power

Any help?
