Frequently asked questions

Can single parents in your area get free home improvements?

Single parents in your area who receive Universal Credit, Income Support, Child Tax Credit, or another qualifying means-tested benefit may be eligible for Warm Homes Plan grants. Your property must also have an EPC rating of D, E, F or G. Submit the form to find out what you qualify for.

Which benefits qualify single parents for the Warm Homes Plan?

Single parents may qualify through Universal Credit (including the child element), Income Support, Child Tax Credit, Housing Benefit, or Jobseeker's Allowance. Eligibility is based on your current benefit status and your property's EPC rating, not on family size.

I am renting in your area. Can I still apply as a single parent?

Yes. Single parent tenants can apply, provided their landlord gives written consent to the work. We can guide you through the process of obtaining landlord permission after you submit the eligibility form.

What improvements are available?

Eligible single parent households in your area can receive loft insulation, cavity wall insulation, solid wall insulation, underfloor insulation, air source or ground source heat pumps, and smart heating controls, depending on the property's condition and EPC rating.

How quickly could the work be done in your area?

After the free eligibility check, an approved your area installer will contact you within 1 to 3 working days to arrange a free survey. Installation typically follows within a few weeks, depending on measure type and installer availability.

Is there any cost to me?

The eligibility check is free. If you qualify, measures fully covered by the Warm Homes Plan are installed at no cost. The installer will confirm in writing before any work begins whether there are any partial costs for your specific property.

These low-cost improvements can start reducing your bills straight away.
