Free heating, insulation and home upgrades for eligible Bromsgrove District Council households. ECO4, Boiler Upgrade Scheme, GBIS, and LA Flex declared can together deliver £8,000–£25,000 of fully-funded improvements at no cost to the homeowner or tenant.
Suburban Birmingham-fringe and rural village stock; modest ECO4 throughput.
The Bromsgrove District Council housing landscape is low-priority for ECO4 retrofit work. The combination of 65% pre-1980 housing stock and 11% household fuel poverty creates low demand for funded retrofit interventions.
Five overlapping funding routes apply to Bromsgrove District Council households, each with different eligibility rules. We map your circumstances to the right one.
