Insulating a room in your roof or attic space is essential for maintaining a warm home and reducing energy bills. At Eco-Home Network, we are pleased to offer grants for insulating the entire Room in the roof area, including sloping areas, dormer windows, and gable walls. These grants are made possible by the government's Energy Company Obligation (ECO) scheme.
Low-income households in the UK can receive a free upgrade for their room in the roof insulation. To qualify for the grant, your property must have an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating of G, F, or E. You must either claim an eligible benefit or have an illness affected by the cold.
Insulating your room in the roof can provide significant benefits for homeowners:
To determine if your property has a room in the roof area, the height of the common wall must be less than 1.8m for at least 50% of the common wall (excluding gable ends and party walls). This includes Loft conversions, dormer bungalows/chalet bungalows, or original storeys with a common wall of less than 1.8m, accessed via a permanently fixed staircase.
All residual loft areas will be insulated to the same building regulations standards as standard loft insulation measures. At Eco-Home Network, we follow the best technical guidance from the Department for Business, Energy & Industrial Strategy (BEIS) for all room-in-roof installations.
Don't let heat escape through your roof, driving up your energy bills. Contact Eco-Home Network today to learn about room-in-roof insulation grants and how we can help you save money and energy while making your home more comfortable and environmentally friendly.
