HOW DO I APPLY?


First you must check to see if you are eligible, which can be done by completing a quick survey at www.simpleenergyadvice.org.uk – then you can decide on the improvements you are best to install.


You must receive at least one quote from a Green Homes Grant, TrustMark- registered installer in order to apply however – work cannot be completed by yourself, a member of your household or your immediate family. You can then make an online application on the www.gov.uk website, and if successful you’ll then be provided with the voucher to give to your chosen TrustMark-registered tradesperson.


NOW’S THE TIME


While there has been some unofficial talk of the scheme being extended in some capacity, there is at present a cut-off point. You must make sure that all scheduled work is completed, and the voucher redeemed subject to its terms and conditions by 31 March 2021. While this may initially seem like a while away to some, tradespeople across the sector are expecting a surge in such projects between now and then, so it’s advised to put things in motion as soon as possible. If there was ever a good time to make those green improvements to your project that you were thinking about, it’s now.
