It's primarily for insulation and energy efficiency improvements:

Having a nightmare in Harwich (Colchester/Ipswich) Essex trying to find suppliers. Most companies I have spoken to are not joining the voucher scheme, as there are too many hoops to jump through and the timescale for completion, is unrealistic. Given that, we are in the middle of a pandemic and winter is upon us. Even those companies already in the Trademark scheme, so don't even have to jump through those hoops. I am looking for external solid wall insulation and UPVC windows to replace single glazed windows, for my elderly mother who qualifies for the £10K. £10K appears to be more of a temptation, but even then I only have one company so far, that will quote for insulation, but we have to wait nearly a month, for them to even come out. No joy with window suppliers at all yet. This scheme is great if you live in a big city, but forget it if you live anywhere else. Basically another shinny thing from the Government, just to distract people, that is impractical and unattainable to the people who really need it.0
