Ealing homeowners can access up to £15,000 through the Warm Homes Local Grant scheme to improve their home's insulation and heating. This government-backed programme is designed to help reduce energy bills and make homes warmer during winter months. The grant can be used for measures like loft insulation, cavity wall insulation, solid wall insulation, and heating system upgrades.

The scheme is delivered through Ealing Council and aims to support owner-occupiers and private tenants with eligible properties. Funding is limited and allocated by local authority, so it's worth checking your eligibility early. MCS-certified installers in Ealing can help you with the installation work once your application is approved.

How it works

  2. Get a quote from an installer: Work with an MCS-certified installer like Fixerfox Ltd serving Ealing to receive a detailed quote for your retrofit measures. The installer can advise on which improvements offer the best value and energy savings for your home.
  3. Submit your application: Apply through Ealing Council with your installer's quote and property details. Once approved, the grant can be used towards the cost of installation, with work typically completed within a few months.
