How to get grant for insulation

danwednesday

Hi,

I'm a self employed first time home-owner, not on benefits etc. I've recently refurbished my house including build of a new roof.

The roof is currently not insulated nor the attic room boarded-out, and I'd like to try to get this done asap, both for the benefit of reduced heating bills and also so we can use the loft as a permanent room or at least storage.

Does anyone know if I'm eligible for any type of grant to get this insulation done, and if so, where/who do I go to apply?

Thanks for any pointers...

also try your local council.
and your energy supplier, BG/powergen etc all run grant schemes.

Hi

we called a couple of local companies and one came round and they have sorted out all the grant stuff. Getting a 5 bed house cavity wall insulated for less than £300./ Could also have gone through energy company

Good luck

Some energy suppliers may have deals where its subsided and some may offer this service at a reduced rate.

Powergen (through Rockwarm) have quoted us £230 for installing cavity loft insulation in our 3 bed house. They claim the necessary grant on your behalf which isn't means tested
