LEWISHAM householders can get free loft and cavity wall insulation thanks to an offer supported by the council.

The offer includes free loft insulation for any private household that currently has no loft insulation, or less than 60mm, as well as free cavity wall insulation.

Those who already have at least 60mm of loft insulation can pay a subsidised price of £149 to have it topped up to the recommended level of 270mm.

The offer is subject to survey and on a first come first served basis.

Lewisham residents can sign up for the scheme by calling Saving Energy Ltd freephone number on 0800 954 9689 or visit lewisham.gov.uk/energy for more information and to request a callback. 

A free survey will identify whether a property needs loft or cavity wall insulation, and people can then decide if they want to proceed with the works or not.
