Standard sales pitch kind of stuff. Start by quoting a silly price, then
reduce it as a result of the "grants" you are entitled to, to get down
to a still silly price. There are some grants available for some
insulation jobs. More readily available to the over 70's

AFAIK the only grants for loft insulation will cover 100% of the cost of
putting 300mm of glass or mineral wool in.

You don't need to be old or disabled to qualify either, sometimes just
the postcode sets availability.

BG are frequently looking for houses to do to fullfill their obligation,
you do not have to be a customer. 8-)
