Insulation
Loft insulation
By putting in 8 to 10 inches (20-25cm) of loft insulation you
can save up to 25% off your heating bills.
Cavity wall insulation
If you own or live in a property built after the mid-1950s it
probably has cavity walls, which lose up to 33% of the heat you are
paying for if they are not insulated.
Warm Zone
You can get a grant towards the cost of insulation work,
whatever your income. If you are aged over 70 or receiving
certain benefits and either own your home or rent privately we
may be able to arrange for insulation work to be installed
free of charge. Telephone 0800 587 2251 for more information
or to book a survey. Assessors may call at weekends and will never
enter your home under any circumstances .
