The RE:NEW scheme offers free insulation and energy advice – just ring free phone number 0800 652 7206 for a home check.
The Mayor of London and Lambeth Council are working with Climate Energy to help everyone live in energy efficient homes. The recommended thickness of loft insulation is now 270mm and any homes built between the 1930s and mid 1980s are likely to need cavity wall insulation.
But do hurry – this scheme runs out by the end of November 2012!!
This is not strictly true. I have just had a telephone conversation with Re:New and there are many restrictions to eligibility. Apparently it only applies if you are interested in either loft insulation or cavity insulation.
Other sources of heat loss around the home are not considered relevant to the scheme.
