Navigating the Great British Insulation Scheme

The Great British Insulation Scheme (GBIS) is a government initiative designed to help households across the UK improve their energy efficiency and reduce their energy bills by installing insulation. 

Navigating government schemes can sometimes be confusing, but the team at Ignite Property Group (IPGL) is here to simplify the process and support you every step of the way. This blog post will guide you through how we can help you access GBIS and ensure your home is better insulated and more energy efficient.   

Phase 1: Initial Consultation and Eligibility Check

Our process begins with a free, no-obligation consultation. We'll:

• Understand your home and needs: We'll discuss your current home setup, identify areas where insulation could be improved (e.g., loft, cavity walls, solid walls and underfloor) and understand your specific needs and concerns.
• Assess your eligibility for GBIS: We'll review the GBIS eligibility criteria, which may include factors like your property Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating, your household income and whether you receive certain benefits. We'll determine if you qualify for support under the scheme.
• Explain the GBIS process and available measures: We'll provide a clear overview of the scheme, explaining the types of insulation available (loft, cavity wall, solid wall and underfloor), the potential funding available and the next steps.

Phase 2: Property Assessment and Survey

Once Ignite Property Group have confirmed your potential eligibility for the Great British Insulation Scheme, we'll arrange a survey of your property:

• Conducting a thorough survey: A qualified surveyor will visit your home to assess its suitability for insulation measures. This includes checking for existing insulation, identifying any potential issues (e.g., damp, structural problems) and recommending the most appropriate insulation types.   
• Providing a detailed report: You'll receive a comprehensive report outlining the survey findings, the recommended insulation measures and an estimated cost (if any contribution is required from you).

Phase 3: Application and Funding Approval

With the survey complete, we'll help you with the application process:

• Preparing and submitting the GBIS application: We will ensure the collection of the necessary documentation and the accurate and efficient completion of the application form. Once complete, we will send you the final invoice with the discount fee. 
• Liaising with the scheme administrators: We'll act as your point of contact with the scheme administrators, handling any queries and providing updates on your application's progress.

Phase 4: Installation and Completion

Once your application is approved, here at Ignite Property Group we will coordinate the installation:

• Scheduling the installation: We'll work with approved installers to schedule the work at a time that's convenient for you.
• Overseeing the installation: We can oversee the installation process to ensure it's carried out to the required standards.
• Providing post-installation support: We'll be available to answer any questions you have after the installation is complete.
