I enquired about a loft insulation grant recently with my local council and was directed to a national company that installs the insulation after an inpsection and quote then they knock 50% off thermowarm or something like that they were called.
I heard someone who bought the stuff, did it themselves and provided the receipts to the local council for a part refund of the costs.
What is the way to get a grant for loft insulation ?
Through the utility companies. We got npower to do ours - £109 to do loft only. Could have got both loft and cavity wall insulation for a total of £230 but we haven't got cavity walls :o)
BTW, we don't get either gas or leccy from npower but they still did the loft insulation.

For varous technical reasns I had to do my own loft insulaton, dove-tailing the work with other jobs I was doing in the loft at the same time. So I more or less had to pass over the offer of subsidised work from BG or whoever, and am not aware of any grants available to me for doing this work myself (which I finished last motth). All a bit frustrating, but at least Wickes had the 3-for-2 offer on for the insulation rolls at the time.

Anyone can get a grant. I know cos I just got one and I'm not in any of=20 those categories. I think those categories get you a 100% grant and=20 everyone else gets 50% or thereabouts. But beware, it took five months=20 for my work to be done cos the installation company was so busy so I=20 would check how busy your preferred company is before booking them. A=20 list of all suppliers is at

No you don't need to meet any of that criteria in order to get a grant. I know that cos I don't meet it and still got a grant.
I think you're getting confused with additional grant savings that can be made if you fall into those categories.

I've just had an offer from powergen to cavity insulate the walls for
50% of the cost (£75) I thought this was a great offer a) if you have cavity walls and b) if they are not filled already unfortunately I am b) but for that amount its nearly worth taking the old stuff out and refilling it :-)HomeOwnersHub website is not affiliated with any of the manufacturers or service providers discussed here.
