It all starts with something that has to be clarified right from the start. The time when one was able to apply for the Great British Insulation Scheme ended at the end of March 2026, meaning that any information about this scheme on the Internet is now outdated. The current scheme is called ECO4, and it lasts until the end of December 2026.
Warm Homes: Local Grant Scheme is also one of the schemes that works parallel to ECO4. It is locally available through Lancashire County Council and Preston City Council, and it targets homes which are not eligible under normal benefits criterion but below the income threshold. The most important factors when qualifying for the Warm Homes scheme usually include the following three categories: whether they are getting any benefits, EPC ratings, and the income threshold. Most of the clients usually fall under the D to G category, with an upper threshold of about £31,000.
What Eco Grants Cover in Preston
We have helped recently a family in Deepdale living in an unheated terraced house built before 1919. The family was not eligible for any help initially, but due to the ECO4 Flex referral, keeping in view the EPC rating of the property and their income range, they were eligible for the installation of free wall insulation and a heating system. Within a few days, the EPC rating of the property jumped from F to D.
But if your property does not qualify according to the eligibility criteria, then we will notify you beforehand and survey your property on a private basis. Cavity wall insulation normally begins at a rate of £1,400. Insulating solid walls, which are mostly found in the older terraced houses in the area, tend to be expensive compared to cavity walls and cost around £4,800 - £8,500.
All surveys and installations we carry out meet the TrustMark criteria according to the PAS 2035 scheme. If the heat pump is included in the installation, the process will also be carried out in accordance with the MCS criteria. After the grant has been authorised, it takes two weeks after the survey to complete the process. Our operating area is beyond city boundaries to cover areas such as Fulwood, Ashton-on-Ribble, and Penwortham, and Boiler Repairs Preston will find out if you are eligible at no cost and no pressure from your side.
