What is The Great British Insulation Scheme?
The Great British Insulation Scheme (GBIS) is a government-backed initiative designed to help households cut their energy bills with free home insulation. It offers upgrades to homeowners with poorly insulated homes that are expensive or difficult to heat.
You could receive support for:
- Loft insulation
- Cavity wall insulation
- Internal wall insulation
- External wall insulation
- Room-in-roof insulation
GBIS was designed to tackle fuel poverty, improve the energy efficiency of homes and reduce energy bills for qualifying households. If you’re eligible, you could benefit from home insulation upgrades at no cost to you.
Who qualifies for the Great British Insulation Scheme?
GBIS is designed to help households with high energy bills, inefficient heating or low incomes. You could be eligible if:

- Your total household income is under £31,000 per year
- Someone living in the property has a qualifying health condition
- Your home has a low EPC rating (E, F or G — or D if it’s a solid wall property)
The scheme is open to homeowners and private tenants (with your landlord’s permission), but we will handle the application process for you.
