Park Home Grants- Is There Any News For 2023?
NO NEWS FROM OFGEM YET SORRY
The long awaited grants for Park Homes are still not happening and we are getting lots of promises from Ofgem but nothing else!
Funding has been approved now but installers are not taking any applications just yet.
This could be down to funding levels as the government are notorious for not giving enough funding for some properties.
If installers cannot make a profit on some property types, they will not accept any grant applications unfortunately.

Park Homes – Expensive To Heat?
Park Home Grants 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 insulated 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 £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 be available to park home occupants.
Disabled Grants To Improve Your Park Home
Park Home
Park Home Owners with disabilities can now obtain grants to make improvements to their park homes to enable them to live an easier life.
Any adaptation must be ‘reasonable and practical’ and ‘necessary and appropriate’.
All aplications must be supported by justification from an occupational therapist.
What Park Home Adaptions Are Available
Adaptions on the grant scheme can include :
- building ramps
- widening doors
- Adapting kitchens for wheelchair users,
- converting bathrooms into shower rooms,
- Adapting toilet facilities,
- Improving access to toileting and bathing facilities
Upgrading access to food-preparation facilities
Who Can Apply?

These grants are means tested so eligibility is based upon an applicant’s income, savings and any benefits they receive.
For more information contact your local county council / social care office.

Why are Park homes so expensive to heat?
What Insulation Is Needed For Park Homes?
Wall insulation:
Walls are usually insulated 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.
