The Government’s Green Homes Grant scheme could increase your opportunities for business; and we are here to support you.
All home energy-saving improvements carried out under the Government’s new Green Homes Grant scheme must be completed by a TrustMark Registered Business. We have a great product range for loft, roof, external wall and under-floor insulation on offer for all registered TrustMark businesses.
The Green Homes Grant is a government grant for homeowners in England to help pay for certain energy-efficient improvements.
Around 600,000 people are expected to benefit from the grant. The maximum amount available is two-thirds of the cost of the work (up to a maximum value of £5,000, provided in vouchers). Low-income households on certain benefits could be eligible for up to 100% of costs (up to a maximum value of £10,000). The Government have created a list of TrustMark accredited contractors which must be used in order to benefit from this scheme.
The grant vouchers provided will contain the name of the tradesperson or business that the homeowner has selected to carry out the work.
The government will pay you for costs covered by the voucher after the work is completed and the voucher has been redeemed (subject to meeting the scheme and voucher terms and conditions).
