Grant Funding & Planning
Many of our technologies and installations qualify for grant funding. Weatherseal uses only accredited installers for grant purposes for all the technologies we supply and install.
Applying for Grants
You can only apply for grants yourself due to the new terms and conditions.
Qualifying for Grant Funding
There are a number of energy efficiency measures that you must undertake before you are eligible to apply for a grant under the low carbon buildings programme. These measures will ensure that you are minimising your energy requirements and are as follows:
- You must have the minimum of 270 mm of loft insulation required to meet current building regulations where practicable.
- You must have installed cavity wall insulation (if you have cavity walls).
- You must be using low energy light bulbs in all the main light fittings in all the main rooms (i.e. the kitchen, hallway and all main living rooms) in the property.
- You must have installed basic controls for your heating system to include a room thermostat and a programmer or timer.
Weatherseal is able to supply all the materials that are needed to meet these measures at highly competitive rates.
