Park Home Grants News
The long awaited grants for Park Homes may be finally kickstarted andĀ we are hoping to hear something after Xmas.
Funding has been approved now but installers are not taking any applications just yet.
This could be down to funding levels as theĀ government are notorious for not giving enoughĀ funding for some properties.
If installers cannot make a profit on some property types, they will not accept any grant applications unfortunately.
Will The Park Home Grants Be Fully Funded?
We believe that the Government is not giving 100% grants for Park Homes and that all applicants will need to pay a contribution towards any measure.
Rumours are the External Wall Insulation will need a contribution of Ā£999 and boilers Ā£699.
Please do not apply if you are not willing to make a contribution towards your grant.

Park HomesĀ – Expensive To Heat?
Park Home GrantsĀ are much needed for 2023 !
Mobile Homes / Park homes in the UK can have some of the highest energy bills as they are usually very poorly insulatedĀ and being off the gas grid are always heated by expensive fuels such as bottled gas or electricity.
Indeed many people report energy bills in excess of Ā£300 per month.
Insulation and upgraded heating is a must for these types of homes and this blog is to inform you of what home improvement grants may beĀ available to park home occupants.

Why are Park homes so expensive to heat?
What Insulation Is Needed For Park Homes?
Wall insulation:
Walls are usually insulatedĀ by fixing insulated panels to the exterior of the home after which a layer of render and decorative coating is applied.
Another way of doing it is by using timber battens and insulation which is applied to the exterior and then overclad with new finishes.
Windows
Note: As part of the works to install wall insulation to your park home, the windows will need to be moved outwards to line through with the outer skin and re-sealed.
As a result, you may wish to consider replacing the windows at the same time as installing the insulation to ensure you get the best benefit from the works.
You can apply for an upgrade of existing single glazing or triple glazing but we do not anticipate any grant funding for this measure.
Roof insulation:
Often carried out at the same time as the replacement of roof finishes, appropriately specified roof insulation will improve the energy performance of your home whilst ensuring the roof space is well ventilated (allowing air circulation and preventing condensation).
Underfloor insulation:
In most cases this will involve installing foil coated thermal insulation to the underside of the home.
Some systems apply spray foam directly to the underside of the floor, but this is likely to seal all the pipes and wiring, preventing any future access.
