Hi
We are about to renovate and extend. Part of the works include externaly insulating the existing house, the extension will be insulated above the current regs. We want the grant!
Our architect believes we will not get the insulation grant as the extension means that the entire existing house will not 100% enveloped. SEI not prepared to give an answer untill the Insulators carries out the work and fills in the forms. Insulators say of course we will get the grant but it is no skin off their noses if we don't as we will have paid them the full amount.
Has anyone carried out a similar project and recieved the grant without dificulty (or not). It seems daft to think that a new extension is treated as rulling out elegibility to recieve the grant.
