Loft Insulation Grant Helping in Real Life

Case Study: A Leap Towards Energy Efficiency

Recently, Mr and Mrs Gallagher, a Leeds residents and prents of two, approached us due to his escalating heating bills amidst the living crisis, with the looming cold winter adding to his concerns. Seeking to install loft insulation under the government grant scheme, we expedited their grant application and ensured the insulation was installed promptly. Below is a glimpse of the transformation:

Annual Energy Cost£1,800£1,320
Energy Loss (kWh/year)7,5003,000

Indoor Temperature (°C)1821

The newly installed insulation, which included loft and cavity wall insulation, significantly elevated the home’s energy efficiency, making the indoor environment more comfortable. Mr. Gallagher noted a substantial drop in his heating bills. With the money saved, the Gallaghers could afford some additional comforts for their family. This case mirrors the experiences of many individuals we assist, underscoring the tangible benefits loft insulation grants bring to households.

The April 2025 applications for loft insulation grants are now open.

Case Study: Pensioners Reaping the Benefits

Mrs. Luis, a pensioner residing in Nottingham, was concerned about the chilly winters affecting her comfort and pocket. After discovering the loft or roof insulation grant for pensioners, she reached out to us. Once deemed eligible for a free insulation upgrade, we swiftly commenced insulating her loft.

Post-installation, Mrs. Luis noticed a considerable energy saving, with lesser heat being lost through the roof. Her energy bills plummeted, making her abode more energy-efficient. This transformation was not only a financial relief but also enhanced the comfort of her roof space significantly. Mrs. Green’s case exemplifies how pensioners can get free loft insulation, save on heating bills, and foster an energy-efficient home environment.

Availability of Loft Insulation Grants

Loft insulation grants at the moment are still accessible across the UK through the Great British Insulation Scheme and the newest part of the Energy Company Obligation (ECO4) initiative. These schemes are particularly useful for homeowners or private tenants—note that you do not have to have a mains gas supply to your home—to help improve their home’s energy efficiency.

Eligibility usually depends on household income, or the qualifications of benefits you’re receiving such as Universal Credit, Child Tax Credits or Pension Credit. If eligible, you could receive fully-funded energy-saving measures, helping to transform your home into a warmer, more cost-effective place.

From loft insulation and internal wall insulation through to the prospect of flat roof insulation, these improvements allow you to hold onto heat and reduce your heating bills. The Energy Saving Trust says these changes could save you a significant amount each year. And expert installation, which involves sealing the loft hatch, ensures you make the most of the ECO4 scheme.

So, to take the first step towards making your house a little cozier and a little more energy-efficient, find out if you qualify for loft insulation grants today.
