Cheap or discounted insulation?

Options
Bright, sunny day and someone asks about insulation :eek:

I'm trying to plan ahead after a really cold last winter and want to either replace or add extra insulation into the roof space and happy to do it myself.

I'm disabled and on benefits - are there any schemes where i can get it at reduced costs? Have seen these types of offers before but can't remember where and searching isn't my strong point :(

Anyone point me in the correct direction? Pretty Please! :D

    i believe the government work in conjunction with British gas to get free insulation, give your local council a call

    if thats no hope, b&q do rockwool which one of the best for £3 a roll which covers about 10 sqm

    Look at your gas/electricity suppliers' website for starters.

    i'm not on any benifits but british gas has just insulated my walls for no cost , so you could either contact your gas / electric supplier or your local council , it shouldn't cost you anything
