Room in the roof Insulation Grants in Northamptonshire

In a concerted effort to move towards a sustainable future, Eco-Home Network proudly offers Room in the roof Insulation Grants to Northampton, Kettering, Corby, Wellingborough, Rushden, and Daventry residents in Northamptonshire.

This initiative falls under the Government's Energy Company Obligation (ECO) scheme, aimed at reducing carbon emissions and combating fuel poverty by facilitating free insulation upgrades for eligible low-income households.

The Imperative of Room in the Roof Insulation

If you have an attic room or room in your roof, it is pivotal to insulate it adequately. This simple step offers multiple advantages:

  • Minimising Heat Loss: Proper insulation restricts heat from escaping through the roof, preventing thermal bridging and reducing heat loss.

  • Elevating Home Comfort: A well-insulated room regulates temperature more effectively, creating a more comfortable and enjoyable living space.

  • Energy Bill Savings: Reducing the energy needed to heat your home results in lower bills, leading to significant financial savings over time.

Criteria for ECO 4 Grant Qualification

For your property to be eligible for the ECO 4 Room in the Roof Insulation Grant, it must:

  • Hold an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of G, F, or E. This indicates that your home is energy inefficient and requires improvement.

  • Receive an eligible benefit or house an individual with an illness exacerbated by cold conditions. This ensures that the grant targets those most in need of energy efficiency improvements.

The grant covers comprehensive insulation, including sloping areas, dormer windows, and gable walls, ensuring a thorough and effective insulation solution.

Identifying Room in the Roof Areas in Your Property

Your property must have a room in the roof area, identifiable by the following:

  • Wall Height: The common wall height must be under 1.8m for at least 50% of the common wall area (excluding gable ends and party walls). This ensures that the space is considered a habitable room.

  • Types of Spaces: This includes Loft conversions, dormer bungalows, and original storeys with a common wall height under 1.8m accessible via a permanently fixed staircase. These spaces are all eligible for the Room in the Roof Insulation Grant.

  • Additional Areas: Residual loft areas will be insulated to meet standard building regulations for loft insulation. This ensures that the entire roof space is adequately insulated.

Insulating all walls and ceilings between heated and unheated spaces is crucial for loft spaces used as living areas. Sloping ceilings, vertical walls, and flat ceilings can be insulated using specific methods, while dormer windows and skylights require high-performance glazing. A professional installer must ensure proper insulation, ventilation, and overall effectiveness.
