Hi jube,

This is not a 'quick fix', but is probably best in the long term:-

Warmfront - Legal Beagles

(just point to link & click)

Jube, and anyone else interested,

We've just have ours done. Replacement boiler, cavity wall insulation and loft insulation.

Because my husband is on disability benefit, we qualified for the £3,600.
allowance. The problem is anyone that requires all three dealing with Warmfront will
have the costs of the loft and cavity wall insulation deducted from the £3,600. allowance,
so there leaving a shortfall of some hundreds of pounds to have the boiler replaced.

The trick here is to have someone else other than Warmfront do your insulation - cavity & loft.
We had E-On our electricity provider, but I'm sure other providers will have similar schemes.
These other schemes are not linked to Warmfront thereby leaving you with the full £3,600. to
deal with the boiler replacement. In our case, we have nothing to pay to Warmfront, and
nothing to pay E-On for the insulations.

Regards,

Do you own the property or are you renting|?
If you are renting your problem is easily solvable, if you own the property then help may be available to you even though you are not on benefits.
Please have a read of THIS it may be of help.

Re: Boiler Problems

Have you checked to see if you are entitled to any benefits? if not entitled, what about approaching your Local Authority for a Home Improvement Grant?
