loft insulation - I need advice

[newgirl]

We want to insulate a small attic space so the baby's room below warms up a bit. I have a vague recollection that you might be able to get a small grant to help with that kind of thing? Is that right or am I imagining it? I remember someone coming to our door with a clipboard a few months back - something to do with the local authority and loft insulation.

Does anyone know?

Also, can anyone recommend someone to do it? Is it something any builder worth their salt can do or do you need a specialist company?

Thanks all

Hi,

There is a grant available where you could get your entire loft done for free. I think its still available..

Check the link below. you might have to cut and paste it.

Thanks for the tip off - have arranged for someone to visit our new property in November to install loft & cavity wall insulation for free. Brilliant!

Thanks again :)

Hello sdurham,

can you give some feedback on the service you had from them? did it all work out well for you.

We need some done now and want to look around.

Kind regards, Natascha

Hi Natascha,

Yes they came and surveyed early December but then never got in touch again. When I called them recently they told me the offer for free insulation had ended at the end of December & that they had run out of slots for the month, hence they never contacted me.

I wasn't very impressed with them in terms of customer service on the phone or in person, unfortunately!

I'm currently looking into other options, such as B&Q who can come & do a free survey, though I suspect the insulation & install will be paid for (unless we decide to do it ourselves).

Hope that's useful. Any further Qs, don't hesitate.
