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. For more information or to book a free assessment
you can telephone 0800 587 2251 or book online at
www.londonwarmzones.co.uk.
Assessors may call at weekends and will never enter your home under
any circumstances.

Loft insulation topped up to the government recommended standard of 270mm/10 inches
* Prices include VAT at 5%, a technical survey and all installation costs.
** Costs for loft insulation may vary for lofts that are part insulated with more than 60mm of insulation. Installing loft insulation to the government standard in a loft with existing insulation of less than 60mm will provide more energy savings and therefore we can offer a larger contribution to the cost. All prices and free measures are subject to survey, funding and eligibility criteria (correct at 20.01.09).
London Warm Zone is a not-for-profit organisation working in partnership with Ealing Council.
