Insulation is invaluable when it comes to helping your home feel warmer as well as lowering your energy bills. However, it can be costly to install, so it is always worth seeing if you can qualify for funding to cover the cost of installing insulation on your property.
Free spray foam insulation grants could be available to households to help make them more energy efficient and reduce carbon emissions, thanks to the government’s Great British Insulation and ECO (Energy Company Obligation) schemes.
Below are some estimated figures (according to the Energy Saving Trust and based on fuel prices calculated from a weighted average of projected, current and recent energy price caps) of how much you could potentially save annually on energy bills if you were to install insulation:
The exact amount you could save will depend on the size and type of your home, as well as how energy efficient it already was. Over time, the insulation will give you a great return on investment with the savings you make on your heating bills, so it is certainly worth the initial spend. If you are looking for guidance with the upfront cost of insulation, read on to find out what help is available to you.
The latest version of the ECO scheme, ECO4, is open to new applicants. If you meet the eligibility criteria you could access a spray foam insulation government grant through this scheme. Keep in mind there are some changes in the eligibility criteria from ECO3 to the new ECO4, so be sure to check your eligibility with us before starting an application for a free insulation grant. Alternatively, you may qualify for funding under the The Great British Insulation Scheme.
Funding grants to assist households make energy efficiency improvements to their homes are available under the UK government backed schemes, with the funding coming from the main energy companies under their energy company obligation.
Large energy companies – considered those with 150,000+ customers – are obligated to offer energy efficient home improvement grants as part of the ECO scheme. However, the number of measures they will fund comes down to their share of the market, meaning smaller energy companies will typically fund less. Energy suppliers that are obligated to provide funding for the scheme include the likes of British Gas, E.ON, EDF Energy, Scottish Power, SSE, and Ovo, plus a number of medium-sized providers.
Funding in some cases will cover the entire cost of the insulation, while some households may be expected to make a contribution towards the insulation installation, but in all instances the grants provided will be free and do not have to be repaid.

Low income households, vulnerable households, those receiving certain benefits, or those considered in fuel poverty, will all have a good chance of qualifying for insulation grant. Get in touch with us. We can help you determine your eligibility for a grant and put you in touch with experts that will handle the entire application process for you from start to finish.
If you do not qualify for a spray foam insulation government grant, how you pay for insulation installation will depend on your personal circumstances and the total cost of the work involved. You might be able to do small, simple insulating jobs yourself fairly inexpensively, like draught-proofing. Larger scale jobs that require a professional installer can cost upwards of around £345 for cavity wall insulation in a flat to roughly £7,400 for internal wall insulation.
