I'm trying to check our supplier's site www.southern-electric.co.uk to
see if they offer grants but the site does not seem to display in
either Firefox or Konqueror.

only it seems, "If you are over 70 or receiving benefits"

That is for the free insulation.

you seem to have missed the 'Even if you're not eligible for FREE
insulation, we can still offer great discounts on your installation'

for us, having 90 m^2 of loft insulation (topping up the patchy and thin
existing stuff with another 250mm of fibre glass) done via Npower cost
us £296.00 - there was a grant element of 127.00.

This included draft-proofing the loft hatch, insulating pipes, and 3 CW
tanks (we had to pay extra for 2 of those as the grant element only
covers 1, ditto we had to pay extra for 10 m^2 of insulation as the
grant only covers up to 80, but we have a big loft area - that covered
£75 of the cost).

A quick Google up suggests that it would have cost us more in material
to DIY anyway, let alone having to do a horrible job
