Loft insulation is composed of layers of glass fiber matting or mineral wool. It will pay for itself several times over its estimated 40-year lifespan. To give you at least 270mm of insulation, we will first install insulation. It will be installed between the ceiling joists and then in the other direction.

You will not only lower your carbon emissions but also have the potential to save hundreds of pounds annually. An average semi-detached home would save about 610 kg of carbon emissions annually.

The volume of air that can circulate is decreased when insulation is installed. Inadequate loft ventilation can result in condensation, which can grow mold and leave wet patches on ceilings. In order to prevent this, as part of the ECO4 award, we will update the ventilation in your house to the newest standards and provide more ventilation where needed.

You (or your renter, if you are a landlord) must be receiving one of the following benefits in order to be eligible for a free insulation grant:

Under the ECO4 Flex plan, which is for households whose combined gross annual income is below £31,000 or if you have specific health issues that would make you sensitive to the cold, you can complete up to 50% of energy efficiency measures installed in England, Wales, and Scotland.

Local Authorities are in charge of implementing the ECO4 Flex program in your community and will confirm your eligibility for it based on your income or health. With a gradual rollout, it should be fully operational by April 2023. If your location is presently accepting applications, we will verify this as part of your application.

Every rental structure, except if they are cleared, is presently expected to have a base energy productivity rating of band “E” under the Base Energy Proficiency Norms (MEES), which came full circle in April 2018.

All properties leased on new rents, nonetheless, should accomplish a base energy proficiency rating of Band “C” beginning in 2025, while those generally involved by tenants should move up to this level by 2028. A punishment of up to £30,000 could be imposed for failure to comply. These adjustments will also be applicable to homes that are being sold starting in 2035 and are in accordance with the government’s net zero emissions by 2050 targets.

Your property may be eligible for a grant to make improvements, such as adding loft insulation if your tenant is receiving one of the perks mentioned above. Actually, according to the ECO4 program, after installing energy-saving measures, all Band “E” rated properties must achieve a minimum Band “C.”
