Home Insulation Grants
Home insulation grants are often available, whether by a government home insulation grant or local council scheme.
There are many types of insulation grants available for most of the UK that fall under various schemes like the national “Affordable Warmth scheme” , the “Energy Companies Obligation (ECO) scheme” along with various local incentive schemes.
The qualification process changes regularly and if you have been unsuccessful before we recommend that you try again every six months or so as the criteria alters. The easiest way to see if you or your household qualifies for any of these grants is to complete the form and your local assessor will advise what grants are available.
Home Insulation Grants For Tenants or Homeowners
Before applying It is useful to ascertain which measure is most suitable for your property, chiefly whether your walls have a cavity or not as the grant procedure differs for each type of insulation. If you are unsure please see below for tips on how to tell how your walls are likely to be constructed.
Here at Government Grants we offer a free service checking your eligibility for grants or local council funding schemes for insulation. This applies to both tenants and home owners. With no initial obligation on your part, simply complete the form to find out your eligibility.
Cavity Wall Insulation Or Solid Wall Insulation Grants Funding
If you’re unsure whether your walls have a cavity in them you can usually check by either looking at the pattern of bricks or by measuring the thickness of the walls next to a door or window:
If the thickness of the wall is 260mm or greater, the wall probably has a cavity.
If the brickwork is exposed, look at the brick pattern. If the bricks are all oblong, laid end-to-end then the wall is likely to have a cavity. If some of the bricks are laid with the square end facing, the wall is likely to be solid.
If the wall is stone, it is likely to be solid.
