Frequently asked questions

Can I get free insulation in your area?

Free insulation is available for eligible households through the Warm Homes Plan and the Energy Company Obligation (ECO) scheme. To qualify, your household typically needs to receive a means-tested benefit, or your area may qualify under local authority flexible eligibility. Insulation types available include loft, cavity wall, solid wall, and underfloor. Submit the form to check eligibility.

What types of insulation are available for free?

Loft insulation, cavity wall insulation, internal wall insulation, external wall insulation, and underfloor insulation are all funded under the Warm Homes Plan for eligible households. The specific type appropriate for your your area property depends on its construction, which is confirmed by a free survey.

What does free insulation actually mean?

Free means the materials and installation are fully funded for qualifying households. There is no cost to you if your household meets the eligibility criteria. The installer will confirm in writing exactly what is covered before any work begins.

How much could free loft insulation save me?

The Energy Saving Trust estimates that installing loft insulation in an uninsulated semi-detached home can save around £150 to £300 per year on energy bills, depending on property size and energy prices. Cavity wall insulation can save a similar amount. Combined measures typically deliver greater savings.

Can I get insulation if I rent my home in your area?

Private tenants can apply for insulation funding if their landlord gives written permission for the work. Landlords also have a separate route to apply for funded insulation for their rental properties. Housing association and council tenants may be able to access funding through their landlord.

Is the eligibility check free?

Yes. The form is free and takes about 60 seconds. If you pre-qualify, an accredited installer in your area will contact you to arrange a free survey and confirm what insulation is available for your property.
