100% FREE Insulation Grants

Full Insulation Grants can be claimed by private householders aged 70 or above, or in receipt of certain benefits, tax credits or allowances. There is no catch; the funding is part of the Government's Carbon Emissions Reduction Target (CERT). The six major utility companies have an obligation to reduce carbon emissions from domestic properties and Insulation is one of the best ways to achieve substantial reductions in carbon dioxide.

40% to 70% Insulation Grants

Insulation Grants are available for all other homeowners and private tenants, that can cover up to 70% of the cost of having Insulation professionally installed. The level of Grant funding depends on the type of property, how it is heated, the number of bedrooms, the size/area to be insulated and whether there is any existing Insulation in the loft. The Grants are not means tested so it does not matter if you are working or if you have any savings. You will typically receive a Grant of around 50%, but it can be higher.
