Free Loft Insulation

If your home isn’t retaining heat efficiently, you could be eligible for a free Loft Insulation grant under the UK Government’s ECO4 or GBIS schemes. This fully funded upgrade helps cut energy bills, improve warmth, and increase comfort, with grants available for pensioners, over-70s, and households receiving qualifying benefits.

What is Loft Insulation?

Loft insulation is a layer of material installed in your roof space to prevent heat from escaping through the ceiling. Since up to 25% of a home’s heat can be lost through an uninsulated loft, installing loft insulation is one of the most effective and affordable ways to improve energy efficiency. It helps your home stay warmer in winter, cooler in summer, and reduces the amount of energy needed to maintain a comfortable temperature all year round.There are also loft insulation grants for pensioners, including government grants for loft insulation for over 70s

At EcoGrants Scotland, we install high-performance loft insulation across the UK under the ECO4 and GBIS government schemes, often free of charge for eligible households. By insulating your loft, you’ll enjoy lower heating bills, fewer draughts, and a cosier living environment — all while reducing your carbon footprint and boosting your property’s EPC rating.

How loft Insulation Works?

Loft insulation works by forming a thermal barrier that prevents heat from escaping through your roof. It’s installed between and over the loft joists, trapping warm air inside during winter and keeping unwanted heat out in summer. This helps your home stay comfortable all year round while reducing the need for extra heating or cooling.

At EcoGrants Scotland, we use high-quality insulation materials that deliver lasting energy savings. By reducing heat loss through your roof, loft insulation lowers your energy bills, cuts carbon emissions, and makes your home more efficient and eco-friendly.If you’re eligible, you can get this upgrade completely free through the UK’s loft insulation scheme.

Why Loft Insulation Is Essential for Every Home

Loft insulation is one of the most effective ways to improve your home’s energy performance and comfort. Without insulation, as much as 25% of the heat in your home can escape through the roof, forcing your heating system to work harder and increasing your energy bills. By installing loft insulation, you create a thick thermal barrier that traps warmth inside during winter and keeps your home cooler in summer. The result is a cosier, more energy-efficient home that saves you money every single month.

At EcoGrants Scotland, we help homeowners across the UK transform their properties with high-quality loft insulation — often funded through the ECO4 or GBIS government schemes. This upgrade not only reduces your carbon footprint and improves your EPC rating but also enhances the overall comfort and value of your property. Investing in loft insulation is a simple step that delivers long-term warmth, savings, and sustainability for your home.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much heat can I lose without loft insulation?

Without proper loft insulation, your home can lose up to 25% of its heat through the roof. Installing insulation creates a thermal barrier that traps warmth inside, making your home much more energy-efficient.

Can I get a free loft insulation grant in Scotland or the UK?

Most cavity wall insulation jobs are completed in 2 to 4 hours, depending on the size and layout of your home. We always work to minimise disruption and leave your property clean and tidy

What are the negatives of cavity wall insulation?

If installed incorrectly or in unsuitable properties (e.g. homes with damaged brickwork or exposure to wind-driven rain), cavity wall insulation can lead to moisture issues. That's why a proper pre-installation survey is essential — which we provide for free.

Can Pensioners get free wall insulation?

Why are people removing cavity wall insulaton?

Some older installations were poorly done or installed in unsuitable homes. This led to damp issues, prompting removal. However, modern installations under ECO4/GBIS follow strict PAS 2030 standards and include full suitability checks to prevent this
