Loft Insulation Grants

Installing more insulation in your loft can significantly reduce your heating bills and keep your home much warmer. Up to 25% of heat can be lost through the roof space and simply adding more insulation will retain the heating you are using on a day to day basis.

Warm Front is a scheme provided for those living in England and gives financial help to those who need heating and insulation. The scheme runs until 31st March 2010.

Grants range from £2700 for gas central heating and insulation and up to £4000 for oil central heating systems.
