Please answer the following questions to determine your eligibility for a Free Loft Insulation Grant.

What Is Loft Insulation and Why Every Scottish Home Needs It?

Loft insulation is a simple yet powerful way to reduce heat loss in your home — especially important in Scotland’s colder climate.
It’s installed in your roof space (also called attic insulation) to prevent up to 25% of heat from escaping through the top of your home.

✅ Free loft insulation in Scotland through the GBIS & ECO4 Schemes
✅ Helps improve your home’s energy efficiency and EPC rating
✅ Available to tenants and homeowners not on benefits

If your home is eligible, the entire installation is fully funded by the UK Government — meaning no cost to you.

Whether you’re applying for attic insulation grants in Scotland or looking to lower your energy bills, this upgrade delivers long-term savings and comfort.

How Loft Insulation Works – and Why It’s a Smart Upgrade?

Loft insulation is installed in your attic space, where it acts as a thermal barrier between your living space and the roof. Materials like mineral wool or rigid boards are fitted between and over joists to prevent heat from rising and escaping.

By slowing heat loss, loft insulation helps you stay warmer for longer, reduce energy use, and make your home more energy efficient.

✅ Free Loft Insulation for pensioners and homeowners under the GBIS scheme
✅ Boosts your home’s Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating
✅ Cuts bills and supports a greener, low-carbon lifestyle

With the Government Insulation Grant, you don’t pay a penny. It’s part of the UK’s plan to reduce energy waste and make free home insulation in Scotland accessible to all qualifying households.

Top Benefits of Loft Insulation for Scottish Homes

Cut Energy Bills by Up to £400 Per Year

Loft insulation helps trap heat inside your home, reducing heat loss through the roof — helping you save hundreds annually on heating costs in Scotland’s colder climate.

Boost Your EPC and Home Value

Insulating your loft improves your home’s Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating, making it more energy-efficient and increasing its long-term market value.

Lower Your Carbon Footprint

Less heat loss means less energy usage. Loft insulation contributes to a greener, more sustainable Scotland by reducing carbon emissions.
