The government’s Green Homes Grant offers eligible homeowners in up to £10,000 of energy saving improvements - but some doorstep traders are already trying to abuse the scheme, according to Herefordshire Council Trading Standards. Despite having Trustmark accreditation which qualifies a company to take part in the scheme, one such firm has been cold calling vulnerable elderly residents in Herefordshire to sign them up for contracts costing in excess of £8000 for spray foam loft insulation which is applied to the underside of the roof. Spray foam loft insulation is unnecessary in domestic properties unless you actually use the loft space as part of your living accommodation. The recommended insulation is standard ceiling level mineral wool insulation laid out to a depth of 300mm. At worst some homes may just need a top up, which is often free from your energy supplier.
