Lincolnshire conservation area, grants for window change

julie65

I would like to know if there is any grants or help to help me pay for a replacement of windows.

I live in an conservation area and am only allowed to put wooden windows in my property, with 8 panels in each side of the windows, so a lot of wood is going in to it. So is going to be very expensive.

I was wondering of anyone knows of any grants going for this. My local council haven't had any money for grants in the last 3 years and won't be having any in the near future.

Thanks
Julie

And why should there be grants available to replace you windows?

Good luck !

That's the thing when you buy old houses or houses in conservation areas I'm afraid, I live in a Grade II* listed so know where you are coming from - you would like something more energy efficient I suppose like us - similar windows to you 6 pane Yorkshire sliding sash.

No chance of grants here for us so it's a case of every penny counts, do home work, shop around for quotes etc. Just had two new windows done to a similar style for an extension we've had built, just shy of a couple of grand for the two.
