Ealing homeowners can access up to £15,000 in government funding through the Warm Homes Local grant scheme. This is real money available now to help you improve your home's insulation, reduce heating bills, and lower your carbon footprint. The scheme is run by your local council and administered through approved installers across the borough.

If your home needs better insulation—whether that's cavity wall insulation, loft insulation, or solid wall insulation—you may be eligible. Opennest connects Ealing residents with MCS-certified installers who understand the local scheme and can guide you through the application process from start to finish.

How it works

  1. Check eligibility: Confirm your postcode is covered by Ealing's Warm Homes Local scheme and that your property meets the technical requirements. You'll need a current EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) rating of D-G.
  2. Get a free survey: An MCS-certified installer will visit your home to assess what insulation work is needed and provide a quote. This helps determine your grant amount.
  3. Submit your application: Your installer submits the application to Ealing Council on your behalf. Once approved, work can begin. You'll only pay any amount that exceeds the £15,000 grant limit.
