Thanks for the replies. We had heard similar comments about bills falling and the warmth of the house, which is really what is driving us to want to take up this offer.

When you mention a 100% grant because your on solid fuel,don`t you have to change to a green/bio fuel to gain this grant?
|
The grant, through Energy Savings Trust Wales, is available for anyone who lives in a solid wall property, and doesn't have access to mains gas (don't need to be on benefits etc.). My understanding is if you use solid fuel as your only source of heating (coal or wood, but not biomass boilers), which we do, then you would get 100% grant, while if you use oil or LPG you would get a 50% grant. I suppose it has been made available as "they" realise that many of the people stuggling with fuel bills and keeping their houses warm are those in solid walled properties and are off mains gas, and haven't been able to take advantage of the generous offers for cavity wall insulation.

,i would`nt bank to much on the 25yr guarantee,i reckon the render will crack way before that |
I had assumed both the insulation and render were guaranteed, as they kind of work together. But I will check this |

No problem Pollyanna,easy done.
I`m sceptical if this method really does make a difference,take note comments on here,had it done recently and have noticed a difference,
It is Very Mild,and has been for a good while,how have these people seen a difference.?
This phallacy about rendered houses,why were they rendered in the first place?
Because of penetrating damp through the walls from driving rain,yes good pointing is adequate,but in exposed area`s you cannot beat good rendering.
Drainage is the main problem with damp walls in rendered properties. |
