Great British Insulation Scheme (GBIS) Now Available Through Surveying Cymru
Helping Homes Across South Wales, Gloucestershire & Herefordshire Save Energy
At Surveying Cymru, we’re proud to offer expert surveying and insulation solutions—and now there’s even more reason to act: Great British Insulation Scheme (GBIS) funding is now available to support housing associations and homeowners across our region.
What Is GBIS—and Why It Matters
Launched in March 2023, the £1 billion GBIS is a UK-wide initiative to help the least energy-efficient homes improve insulation and reduce energy bills. The scheme runs through March 2026 and offers funding for measures like loft, cavity wall, and external wall insulation—potentially even covering the full cost for eligible homes .
This initiative can save households £300–£400 per year on heating bills—and in some cases up to £600 .
Recent updates now allow two insulation measures per home under certain circumstances, not just one .
Notably, GBIS now includes social housing—which previously wasn’t eligible—recognising that lower-income tenants in inefficient homes remain vulnerable to fuel poverty .
