How It Works
Who qualifies for External Wall Insulation Grants?
All home owners and landlords can qualify for External Wall Insulation grants. If you part own the property with a Housing Association, providing you own 50% or more, you are also eligible.
If you are a Council or Housing Association tenant, you should contact them directly or speak to the Energy Saving Trust (0800 512 012) who may be able to help you.
If you cannot afford to pay the required contribution, there are several options available. The cheapest option in most cases is to extend an existing mortgage. Home improvement loans and other forms of finance can also be considered.
Our approved installer will be able to provide you with the exact cost at the time of survey. They may also offer their own finance packages.
