How to get a Loft Insulation Grant in the UK

Homeowners can get a loft insulation grant in the UK to insulate their loft. Loft Insulation Grants such as ECO4 provide full funding to cover energy efficient insulation among other heating upgrades.

Did you know that a third of the heating in a property may be lost with insufficient insulating material?

At Pure Environs, we often encounter the concern of heat loss due to insufficient insulation in properties. The government grants for loft insulation are a solution to this issue, aiding in both energy conservation and cost-saving.

In the UK, insulation grants available such as the loft insulation grant and free cavity wall insulation are designed to enhance the energy efficiency of properties, and here’s a closer look at how they work.

Getting a grant for your loft insulation involves meeting certain criteria. If you own or rent a property, particularly one that is electrically heated, and you’re receiving specific benefits, you may be eligible for this grant.

Benefits and Savings Overview

Room in roof insulation grants, including loft insulation grants, aim to bolster energy-saving measures in homes of low-income individuals and families. By having loft insulation installed, you can save between ÂŁ120 to ÂŁ280 annually on energy bills.


Those who qualify for free loft insulation, particularly individuals receiving income-based Jobseekers Allowance and living in their own property, can have the full installation cost covered. Besides reducing your bills, loft and wall insulation significantly lessen your home’s carbon footprint, making insulating your loft a wise choice for both your wallet and the environment.

This is a government backed scheme
Loft Insulation Grant Availability
The loft insulation government grant remains accessible in the UK, courtesy of the Great British Insulation Scheme along with the final rollout of the Energy Company Obligation (ECO) scheme. This initiative is a boon for homeowners or private tenants, especially those lacking a mains gas supply.

Eligibility often hinges on certain financial criteria, such as income related employment or receiving qualifying benefits such as universal credit, child tax credits or pension credit among others. Upon qualification, various energy efficiency measures are available free of charge, aiding in transforming your home into a snug and energy-efficient space.

Whether it’s sealing the warmth within via internal wall insulation, addressing the loft insulation, or even considering flat roof adjustments, each step is a stride towards substantial savings.

The Energy Saving Trust estimates reflect the potential of these measures in reducing heating bills. Moreover, professional guidance and installation, such as sealing off the loft hatch, ensure maximised benefits under the ECO4 scheme, leading to a warmer home and lighter utility bills.

Diving into the ECO Scheme

The ECO scheme, funded by energy companies, provides multiple heating support options for eligible individuals. This initiative drives the UK’s energy efficiency, lowers energy bills, and reduces carbon emissions.

By tapping into the free loft insulation grant, you can prevent heat from being lost through the roof, turning your roof space into a heat-retaining zone.


The Energy Saving Trust estimates suggest a potential saving of a substantial amount per year. A cost-effective way to further enhance energy efficiency is by installing external wall insulation, effectively utilising the heat generated within your home.


Engage with Pure Environs, an approved installer that works in partnership with energy supplier and OFGEM to ensure a cost-effective insulation installation to your loft hatch and beyond.
