What is the Great British Insulation Scheme?

The Great British Insulation Scheme offers grants for loft insulation and wall insulation to households across England and Wales.

It’s designed to cut heat loss, lower energy bills, and reduce carbon emissions.

The scheme offers support for loft insulation, cavity wall insulation, and external wall insulation grants. You don’t always need to be on benefits to qualify – eligibility can also depend on your property’s energy rating and location.

If you qualify, the work is fully funded by energy suppliers, so there’s no cost to you.

What Can You Get?

  • Loft insulation to keep heat from escaping through your roof
  • Cavity and solid wall insulation grants to reduce heat loss through your walls
  • Other targeted measures to make your home more efficient
  • Ventilation improvements to prevent damp and improve airflow
  • If you meet the ECO4 benefit criteria, you can also get free heating control upgrades

Who is Entitled to Free Home Insulation?

It depends on your property’s current energy rating, location, and household circumstances.

Our team will check the criteria for you and answer questions like “Can I get free loft insulation?” in minutes.

Criteria include having an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of D to G and living in Council Tax Bands A to D.

Homeowners, and in some cases, tenants, are eligible, provided the property is your main residence and you have permission from your landlord if renting.

We’ll confirm your eligibility, arrange the survey, and handle all the paperwork.
