I signed up with the evil BG on the promise of free cavity wall insulation and loft insulation. This would have been a good deal.
However, the surveyor came out today - the house is ineligible for any cavity wall insulation because of its construction, and the section that is suitable is not 2/3rds of the house, therefore we are not eligible to have that done.
Fair enough.
Now to loft insulation:
There are 3 loft spaces in the house (tis an old house). Loft 1 in DSs bedroom. Theres 6" of loft insulation but they recommend 10". But they cant do it because the roof pitch is too shallow.
Loft 2: She doesnt even view because the loft hatch "is too small" - well yes, it is small, but my 6' DH can get through there....
Loft 3: Is in the centre of the room. She cannot go up her ladder due to health and safety because she cannot rest the ladder against anything and its a tall ceiling. AMazingly, DH manages to get up there every Christmas to see if theres any damage by reindeers .....
Im just cheesed off - I feel like they are doing everything in their power NOT to do any insulation. She even said ours was OK because we had 6" and although less than recommended, it was still good. Well thats OK then.
I am also cross with myself for thinking the BG could do anything honestly.
