Call You & Yours: "Have you had work done on your home under government energy schemes?"

You and Yours

Available for over a year

It's our weekly phone in today, Call You & Yours, and we're asking: "Have you had work done on your home under government energy schemes?" The National Audit Office has criticised the government for two of its energy saving improvement schemes that have left thousands of homes needing remedial work after botched insulation was installed. 98% of homes that had external wall insulation installed under the schemes have problems that will lead to damp and mould if left unaddressed. Nearly a third, or 29%, of the homes that were given internal insulation also need fixing. For many years on You & Yours we have heard from listeners about botched insulation and other works being done in their homes. Often after being cold called on the phone or at home by firms saying they're acting on behalf of the government or local council. Our phones lines open at 11am, the number to call is 03700 100 444.
