Longer than a decade Green, the free boilers thing has been getting done for 20 years at least and its been a shambles since then but they are all the same and roll into the next one.
I know someone who wasn't a gas engineer that started a company and fitted free boilers for 18 months - 2 years then folded the business and moved on.(He didnt fit them just operated the grant money and hired people) Infurating to say the least!
The way government schemes have operated on these things the last decade from external insulation, to cavity filling to solar has been criminal and just fuelled cowboy firms that pop up fueled by a grant to then vanish and move on to the next scheme as a new firm
