Can you get a new roof under this scheme?

No, you can't.

I think it is fair and obvious that green deal companies quote more for work carried out under the green deal because they have to carry out huge amounts of extra paperwork and offer considerably more consumer protection than work that is not carried out under the green deal.

I think if you try a bit harder by using Google it shouldn't be a problem to find an installer.

So the 4k grant for swi we get back pays for their paperwork & extra protection ? i.e. just go direct and haggle and you may end up better off.

Now we are in March did I miss the Feb re-start to GD ?

There is a cashback scheme which gives £4k cashback, but companies aren't just adding £4k to all the quotes

Government said last year that In February £70m would be released, obviously it's gone past February now. That is the only information that has been released regarding the third round

You would have thought that if big announcements were made they would try and not miss the milestones but then it is the Goverment

Can anyone recommend a boiler replacement installer in the North West who covers Blackburn under the Green Deal scheme?
I'm trying to get some quotes together, so far only 1 firm has responded (Leverhome based in Bolton)
Ideally I'm looking for first-hand experience of the installer, quotes and feedback.

It looks like I'm entitled to a voucher worth £1750 but i don't want to install a new bolier if the quote minus the voucher is more than getting someone to install a new boiler independantly.

The Green Deal website list of installers is poor too. Can't search in order of distance etc.
