Grants for insulation

Hi All

I was just wondering if grants are still available for insulating houses. I am weighing up options of insulating either outside or inside of a solid wall.

Would there much of a price differential?( two walls as house is mid terrace)

Also could anyone direct me where I get more info on these grants if they are still available

Thanks

Yes there will be a price difference generally external is much more expensive but in my opinion a far superior option.

Make sure ventilation is up to scratch as well.

The grants are still going , the main thing is to go with a reputable company not necessarily the cheapest.

Grants will be gone this coming budget, confirmed.
Driving around Kilkenny you can easily spot all the houses with external insulation works completed.....

Just wondering, do you have some sort of proof they'll be cut?
