New Grants
New Grants have just been announced for insulation for solid wall properties.
Older properties that have solid walls and are heated by either solid fuel or by electric heating ( storage heaters) can apply for a grant to insulate the exterior of their properties.
Depending on property type and size , grants of up to 100% are available for people claiming Low Income benefits.
Size Of Grant Awarded
It is assumed that a lot of properties over 4 bedrooms will achieve 100 % grant. This will only become apparent post survey.
However, some smaller properties will need to pay a small contribution expected at between £2000 – £3000.
Massive Saving On Cost Price
Average cost of this cladding to supply and install is around £75 – £110 per square meter so this scheme is expected to have a massive take up over its course.
