Room In Roof Insulation Grants

Room In Roof Insulation

Room in Roof Insulation grants are being provided in the UK under ECO4, a government-backed scheme. These grants cover all the costs associated with insulating the loft rooms, ensuring the use of the latest insulation materials as specified in the Building Regulations.

This grant funding in the UK is primarily focused on insulating the older properties which need to be adequately insulated or have employed unsuitable materials and techniques for insulation that do not meet the current Building Regulations. By installing the latest insulation materials, the loft spaces can be insulated to retain heat inside the property without causing the change of use of Room in Roof.
