Working with a turnkey contractor can bring big rewards.

And certainly, in today’s world, the importance of a whole-house approach, with quality insulation and other high class energy efficient measures, should not be underestimated.

Whether it’s for residential or commercial properties, effective insulation not only enhances comfort and contentment, but it also contributes significantly to sustainability, energy efficiency, and lower bills.

When it comes to considering insulation solutions, then partnering with an experienced, reputable, community mindful contractor can make all the difference.

As part of an upcoming video promotion that will take an insightful overview at what makes up Westdale Group's whole-house approach, we were pleased to do some filming at Broxtowe, Nottinghamshire, where we have been retrofitting houses in and around a conservation area.

We were delighted to interview Broxtowe Borough Council's Energy Improvement & Grant Coordinator Latif Imran Jalil and Carolyn Melbourne, Museum and Collections Officer at the D.H. Lawrence Birthplace Museum. Both guests talked about the impact the housing works had made on the residents and the local area.

There are a number of pitfalls to watch out for, and avoid, when it comes to applying for any energy efficiency grant.

Here are the key ones, and what to do about them:

🏠 Not thoroughly examining the eligibility criteria: Before pressing send on that application, ensure that you have reviewed all the specific eligibility requirements of the grant scheme, including income thresholds, benefit criteria, and property requirements.
🏠 Check if your property meets the necessary EPC rating.
🏠 Not understanding grant requirements and guidelines: Make sure that you have read any grant guidelines thoroughly. You could create a checklist based on any such guidelines, and tick them off as you go along. Read through as much information as you can.
🏠 Inadequate Documentation: Missing or incorrect documents can lead to a grant application being rejected. Check that everything you submit is right first time, complete and up-to-date. Attention to detail is crucial.
🏠 Using unofficial channels to apply for a grant: Applying through unofficial websites or individuals not authorised to handle grant applications could not only lead to rejection but also leave you at risk of being scammed. Always apply through official channels, like the grant provider’s website, or through a trusted installer like Westdale.
🏠 Choosing the wrong installer: Using an unaccredited installer could void your eligibility for schemes such as ECO4. Only approved Trustmark and Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) registered tradespeople can carry out work under EC04, while ensuring installations are to ‘Government Quality Standards’ (PAS2030, PAS2035 and MCS). We meet all these important requirements.
🏠 Overlooking property evaluations: If a property evaluation is required, ensure it is completed accurately and that any necessary repairs or upgrades are addressed.
🏠 Not seeking professional advice: If you are unsure about any aspect of the application process, seek advice wherever possible from a qualified professional.
🏠 Forgetting to get landlord permission: If you are renting, make sure you obtain written permission from your landlord before applying for any energy efficiency improvements.
🏠 Not preparing for potential out-of-pocket costs: Be aware that some grants may require a contribution towards the cost of the work. Ensure you have the necessary funds available if this is a requirement.
🏠 Remember, use the online eligibility checker provided on the government website or other relevant websites.

In conclusion, an inviting, energy efficient and sustainable home can play a critical role in people’s mental health and wellbeing.

Whether you’re after advice on the latest renewable technologies for your home, seeking further information on fabric-first insulation, or want more clarification on funding or any other grant, Westdale would love to hear from you. We can help you take the necessary steps to future-proof your home.
