GBIS SCHEME UPDATE

Great British Insulation Scheme: What Comes Next?.

The Great British Insulation Scheme (GBIS) officially ended on 31 March 2026. This page explains what GBIS covered and how eligible households may now check whether alternative insulation or energy efficiency support is available.

HSSE Solutions can help review your enquiry and guide you toward current scheme routes or private insulation services, depending on eligibility, property suitability, funding availability and service requirements.

What Was the Great British Insulation

What Was the Great British Insulation Scheme?

The Great British Insulation Scheme was a UK government energy efficiency scheme designed to help improve insulation in some of the least energy-efficient homes in Great Britain. The scheme supported eligible households with certain insulation measures before it officially ended on 31 March 2026.

New GBIS applications are no longer available. However, households may still be able to explore other support routes such as ECO4, Warm Homes-related support or private insulation services, subject to eligibility, property suitability, survey findings and funding availability.

GBIS SCHEME BACKGROUND

Why Insulation Support Matters for UK Homes

Many older UK homes can lose heat through poorly insulated walls, roofs, floors or building fabric. Suitable insulation can help reduce heat loss and improve comfort when specified and installed correctly.

Insulation measures may help to:

  • Reduce heat loss and support better energy performance where suitable.
  • Support potential heating cost savings, depending on property condition, energy use, tariffs and installed measures.
  • Contribute to reduced energy use or emissions where the measure and property are suitable.
  • Help improve warmth and comfort where insulation is correctly specified, installed and maintained.

The right insulation measure can support comfort, energy performance and longer-term property improvement, subject to property suitability.

Benefits of Suitable Insulation Measures

CHECK ELIGIBILITY

GBIS previously supported subsidised insulation for eligible households. Similar insulation measures may help improve comfort and energy performance where the property is suitable and the measure is installed correctly.

41
POTENTIAL BILL SAVINGS

Suitable insulation can help reduce heat loss, with potential heating cost savings depending on property condition, energy tariffs, occupancy and usage.

44
ENERGY PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT

Insulation may help reduce energy demand where suitable, with any emissions impact depending on the property, heating system, energy source, installation quality and usage.

43
FUNDING MAY BE AVAILABLE

GBIS has ended, but some households may qualify for other current support routes. Funding depends on eligibility, property suitability, scheme criteria, survey findings and funding availability.

42
IMPROVED WARMTH & COMFORT

Measures such as cavity wall insulation or loft insulation can help improve warmth and reduce draughts or cold spots where the property is suitable. Damp and condensation risks must be assessed before installation.

GBIS ELIGIBILITY BACKGROUND

Who GBIS Was Designed to Support

GBIS was designed to support certain households and lower-performing homes with insulation measures. The scheme has now ended, but similar eligibility factors may still apply to other current support routes.

GBIS eligibility previously considered factors such as:

  • Property ownership or private rental status, including permission requirements for rented properties.
  • EPC rating and property energy performance.
  • Household income, qualifying benefits or other approved eligibility routes.
  • Existing insulation condition, heat loss concerns and property suitability for measures.

HSSE Solutions can review your enquiry and explain whether a current scheme route or private insulation service may be suitable. Final eligibility, funding and installation scope depend on the relevant current scheme, property survey and approval route.

ENERGY PERFORMANCE IMPACT

How Insulation Can Support Energy Performance

Suitable insulation can help reduce heat loss, meaning some homes may need less energy to maintain comfortable temperatures. Any impact on energy use, costs or emissions depends on the property, heating system, insulation measure, installation quality and how the home is used.

Insulation programmes can contribute to wider energy efficiency objectives, but results vary by measure type, property condition and delivery quality. Claims about carbon reduction or national impact should be supported by scheme data or official evidence.

Beyond the Initial Enquiry:

When you contact HSSE Solutions, we can help you understand suitable insulation options and whether current support may be available. Potential savings, comfort improvements and energy performance changes depend on your property, measure suitability, installation quality and usage.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. GBIS officially ended on 31 March 2026. New GBIS applications are no longer available, but you may be able to explore other current support routes depending on household eligibility, property suitability, scheme criteria and funding availability.

GBIS supported certain insulation measures, which could include loft insulation, cavity wall insulation and other eligible insulation measures depending on property type, scheme rules and assessment findings.

GBIS has ended, so new GBIS-funded insulation is no longer available. Other support may be available through current scheme routes, subject to eligibility, property suitability, survey findings, approval and funding availability. If funding is not available, HSSE Solutions can provide a private quotation where applicable.

Timescales depend on the type of enquiry, property access, survey requirements, measure suitability, installer availability and whether the route is scheme-backed or private.

You can contact HSSE Solutions to review your property and insulation requirements. We can explain whether any current support route may be available or whether a private insulation service is more suitable. Survey requirements, costs and installation scope will be confirmed before any work proceeds.
