Green Homes Grant Eligibility
To be eligible for the grant, applicants must own their home (including park homes on a residential site, long-leaseholders and shared ownership) or be a residential landlord in the private or social rented sector including local authorities and housing associations.
Applicants must include at least one primary measure including flat roof, pitched roof, loft, under-floor, cavity wall and solid wall insulation or low carbon heat including air source, ground source, hybrid heat pumps, biomass boilers and solar thermal. Additionally, the grant can help with costs for secondary measures including draught proofing, double/triple glazing (where replacing single glazed windows), secondary glazing (in addition to single glazing), external energy efficient doors and water tank thermostats and insulation.
Warm Flat Roofs
The majority of existing, older generation flat roofs were installed with little or no insulation or suffer from dilapidated insulation. These ‘cold roofs’ create several, common problems including expensive heat loss, condensation and damp issues. New generation ‘warm flat roofs’ incorporate advanced technology consisting of a vapour control layer topped by insulation and sealed with a waterproof membrane, minimising heat loss and preventing unwanted moisture.
