Wanted to get the grant for underfloor insulation and loft insulation, neither of which I have.
The system requires you to get quotes from their approved suppliers. No probs.
Approved suppliers are charging £300 for the quote and then maintaining a separate pricing book for GHG. Net result is the exact same number.
All govt money flows to the suppliers. Racket.

I am thinking of applying for underfloor insulation as well. Work has to be completed by end of March though right? I'm only at the 'thinking' stage so this seems unlikely.

What a bloody farce. I had looked into it for new windows myself but by the time I'd paid (more) for the underfloor and loft it just simply wasn't worth it and I may as well go private from the off.

We were looking at the same, as it's the only thing we'd be eligible for. In a pretty typical fashion to most people I assume, we've scrapped it as the energy savings wouldn't have paid for themselves.
But you do also have to be realistic and understand this stuff is in part an economic stimulus, so the government isn't too fuss who pockets the cash, home owners or business. And there's an argument to say that taxed business income would be a cheaper subsidy.

Where'd you get to with it? When I looked into it it just wasn't worth it.
