The government is giving grants for insulating old houses so I booked
a survey to get a price with grant included and to pick the brains of
the surveyor

Who deals with these grants? We have very poor insulation in our loft,
which will need sorting out before the autumn.

www.heatproject.co.uk
which listed 16 different suppliers for my area, all selling much the
same thing and much the same price so I went for the one who put a
flyer through my door and is based in the next village

They are very over subscribed. I requested a survey eight weeks ago
and have only just got to the top of the list,so it would be worth
asking suppliers how long you need to wait for a survey

The good news is that material and labour for installing ten inches of
insulation in my attic, plus cavity wall insulation in the 1976
extension will cost me just £225 (three bedroom house)

Not bad at all. I really don't fancy putting this stuff in myself in our
large loft

Agreed. I'd have paid £225 just for someone else to do the installing
