A real company, established May this year:

https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/13385239/filing-history

However, the people behind it don't look particularly convincing (click through to their previous directorships) and their website is promoting the solar PV FIT scheme which closed long before the company was established.

Personally I'd steer clear.

You can navigate to them starting from gov.uk so that's a good sign; the URL you will reach is the same one that they quote.  However, Companies House shows that they were only incorporated on 10 May 21.

They are only listed as installers of Gas-fired condensing boilers and heating controls (for wet central heating system and warm air system).  Presumably you would need an advisor to recommend the work that needs to be undertaken and how it would be financed.

Beware that if you can't get a grant you might end up with a loan that's repaid by surcharges on your energy bills !

Make sure you understand what you're letting yourself in for.

They appear to be offering free advice. Green Deal is not a grant, it is a loan. https://www.gov.uk/green-deal-energy-saving-measures

GHG (Green Homes Grant) scheme has closed. Eligibility is usually based on the range of benefits received by the applicant. Probably better talking to Citizens' Advice.

The safest route is to contact your energy Co.  direct.
