INSULATION OFFERS!

 

Local Insulation Schemes
 
Most borough, district and city councils in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire operate insulation schemes which offer residents in private housing (owner occupied or rented) subsidised loft and cavity wall insulation. Some can offer grants on solid wall insulation. Each authority works in partnership with installers to bring you the best prices.

 
In some areas prices are currently FREE to many householders; elsewhere they are generally free if you are aged over 70 (or 65 for some schemes) or in receipt of certain benefits.

 
IMPORTANT: Prices are likely to increase significantly at the start of 2013. This is due to a change in government policy which currently obliges energy companies to subsidise insulation. From then on it is likely that loft and cavity wall insulation will cost several hundred pounds each to install. To take advantage of the subsidies you need to contact your local scheme as soon as possible - please don't wait until December as many installers will be fully booked to the end of the year by that point.
 

Installing insulation in your loft and walls is one of the most effective ways to make your home easier and cheaper to heat.
  • In a typical completely un-insulated home with a cavity wall 33% of the energy loss is through the wall and 25% through the roof.
  • Insulating the walls and loft of a home can save about two tonnes of CO2 and reduce annual heating bills by £160 each year.

To find out more about why you should insulate your home, see our insulation page.

Contact the scheme for your area as listed below.
