Save on your energy bills with the Green Homes Grant Voucher Scheme

The Green Homes Grant Voucher Scheme (GHGVS) has been introduced by the Government to improve energy efficiency in domestic properties.

Among the range of primary measures included in the scheme is room in roof insulation, which can greatly reduce heat loss in a converted attic or loft space.

What is room in roof insulation?

Room in roof insulation uses rigid foam insulation boards which are fitted in between rafters and underneath plasterboard walls to keep the heat inside, cutting your energy bills and CO2 emissions.

This type of insulation is preferred by those that want to convert their attic or loft into a living space and want to achieve an attractive finish.

How much does room in roof insulation cost?

The cost of fitting room in roof insulation depends on the type of property, but usually falls between £1,500 and £2,700.

While this may be a little more expensive than other forms of insulation, it could well pay for itself when it comes to using it as part of an attic conversion, which will add value to your property.

A typical detached house will see annual savings of £225, while semi-detached properties can expect to save £135 each year.

Am I eligible for the Green Homes Grant?

Every household is eligible for a £5,000 voucher, which covers 2/3 of the cost of the energy-efficient improvements up to the £5,000 maximum. For example, if the room in roof insulation costs £1,800, the grant would cover £1,200, leaving you to contribute £600, which you would likely make back within the first 5 years of savings.

If you’re on a low income or claim certain benefits, you could get a voucher of up to £10,000 which covers the entire cost of improvements, without the requirement of a customer contribution.
