The GLA and British Gas have launched a scheme offering 拢100 towards cavity and loft insulation

The London Mayor and British Gas are offering 拢100 to Londoners who install energy saving insulation in their homes.

The scheme will see households receive 拢100 cash back once the work is completed. The GLA says that the incentive means that cavity wall insulation could cost as little as 拢250 and loft insulation 拢274.
