I think 50% of it is covered by gov grants.
I think it was around 23k, but as I said due to her age & status it was completely covered by the government. I think normal grants available to you & me is about 7k so it’s 15/16k

Steep enough.
I wonder would the internal insulation be a better option.

The front of our house is absolutely baltic and needs to be addressed.
It was far across the sea,
When the devil got a hold of me,
He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.

Ah sorry HB, no idea why I read that as internal 

Some amount of houses in my estate getting it done. Easily 15 gaffs in last 6 or so months.

You'd want to be saving a lot on the oil/gas bills to be getting it done.

it’s far less invasive than internal and you also potentially improve the look of it. 
After my mother passed away we had to get the house valued & the valuer/estate agent said it immediately puts 40/50k onto value

Was looking at it myself. Case studies I had seen for three bed semis cost about €16k gross, reduced by approx half by Grants. Some finishes cost more than others.

It will make a huge difference to the comfort in a house. Typically with double or triple glazed doors and windows would make a heat pump and even heating possible after its done.

Had the attic roof pumped with Icynene 18 months ago and the difference that alone has made is huge. That was €1500 well spent.

Nice job done on a house across the road. Looks very well on the outside now

Got house pumped and one part of the house that which the room was always baltic dobecwith external insulation. Made a massive difference. Plenty of old houses round our way getting it done and it has made them look better than what they used to.

got it done about 3 years ago and made a massive difference....the main thing being that the house “holds” the heat much better as in you can turn off your heating and the house remains warm for longer.

From what I can remember the grants are only aloud if you get the full house done (front,back and gable for a semi) and also you need a high efficiency boiler in the house,think there’s another stipulation but can’t remember.

One last thing....it’s pointless getting it done if you don’t have your windows and attic done.

There's a lot of talk of pumping The Walls. Not sure what he did to deserve this? Last year Ringerbell was wanting to rim the walls for his home bar. A lot of sick folk round here 
It would damage this forums' reputation

Heading to the north tomorrow and want to pick up a few things in Screwfix - Had a look online and it's a fair bit cheaper than here.

Never bought anything from Screwfix before,Will I have to register with them to buy stuff in store and if so will I need a Nordy address?
