Great British Insulation Scheme

The Great British Insulation Scheme (GBIS) is a UK government-backed programme that helps homeowners and private landlords across England, Scotland and Wales improve home energy efficiency. It provides funding for insulation upgrades, reducing energy bills and carbon emissions. The scheme is designed to make homes warmer, greener and more affordable to run, especially for those on lower incomes or with poor energy ratings.

You may qualify for support through Great British Insulation Scheme (GBIS) if you:

·       Own your home or are a private tenant with landlord permission

·       Live in a property with a low EPC rating (typically D or below)

·       Meet specific income or benefit-related criteria (check the latest government guidelines)

Ignite Property Group can assess your eligibility, guide you through the requirements and ensure you meet all the necessary criteria. We also assist in obtaining an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) if you don’t already have one.

The scheme typically covers a range of home insulation upgrades, including:

·       Loft insulation

·       Cavity wall insulation

·       Solid wall insulation (in some cases)

·       Under-floor insulation (in some cases)

Ignite Property Group will recommend the most suitable insulation measures based on your home’s structure, materials and budget. We can also advise on additional energy-saving opportunities beyond basic insulation.

To apply, you’ll usually need to contact a registered installer or energy supplier participating in the GBIS scheme. Ignite Property Group works with a network of qualified installers and coordinates directly with energy suppliers, helping you:

·       Handle all paperwork

·       Ensure a smooth application process

·       Schedule installation at a convenient time

We support you from initial assessment to final installation, ensuring everything runs efficiently.

In many cases, insulation through the GBIS scheme can be fully funded, depending on your eligibility and the insulation type. In some situations, you may need to contribute a portion of the cost. Ignite Property Group provides clear cost breakdowns and helps you explore available insulation grants and funding options to minimise out-of-pocket expenses.

Energy savings vary based on your current insulation, energy use and home type. Ignite Property Group uses data-driven tools to estimate how much you could save and provides detailed energy performance reports to show long-term cost benefits.
