Cavity Wall Installation - Any grants for extensions?

Hi,

I live in a semi detached house which was built around 1900. So it a stone wall (about 2 feet wide). It also has 2 extensions which were built around 1960 and 1970 ish. I had the rep from British Gas around as they were offering free cavity wall installation.

But he said as my property is stone wall about 70% of it they cannot do it as needs to be at least 2/3's of it.

I have read people can get grants for extensions etc. I say the total amount to be injected would be single extension height by 10 meters and the 4 meters as it goes around. The extensions are tied to next door as assume they had them done the same time. (family owed both houses for 80 years).

Does anyone know where i can get a grant or how much it would cost to do as both extensions are very cold first thing in the morning. (there is heating in both areas)

any help would be great
