parents in law recieve pension credit, so eligeable for a full warm fron grant,
they had the bod round a few weeks ago, who agreed it was time to replace the 60's style flueless gas fire, backboiler and 1 radiator in the kitchen, told them to empty the loft for insulation and so on,
said they'd get the full £3500 for it all, the house has no cavity walls, so they cant have that, and the loft insulation is minumal to say the least,
Some bloke rang them to say he'd be round to measure up, and they were getting a boiler, one radiator in the bedroom, pipework will be run around the celing of the living room then upto the bedroom, all exposed, and no they can't lift the floor boards them selves and have him put it hidden, and they are getting no loft insulation, it's a boiler or insulation. WTF?
Warmfronts homepage says you get a combi boiler, upto 5 rads, valves and pipework, i'd read that a 6th radiator was allowable for a big room, which the living room is... was 2 rooms, now knocked into 1 that runs the length of the house,
The house isnt large, 2 bedrooms and a box room, the only heating upstairs is one of those open element light heaters in the bathroom, and their own plug in oil rads,
anyone know if it's normal for a full warm front grant to provide a half arsed system, they say loft insulation is the best thing you can do, and they wont do it,
