The Warm Homes: Local Grant Peterlee provides eligible households with the opportunity to access fully funded or heavily subsidised energy-saving home improvements — and our team is here to guide you through every step of the process.

This grant scheme is designed to make essential energy-efficiency upgrades accessible, particularly for households that may struggle with upfront costs. Whether your Peterlee home is draughty, expensive to heat, or in need of modernisation, the Warm Homes: Local Grant Peterlee can help you secure meaningful improvements at little or no cost.

What We Provide Through the Warm Homes: Local Grant Peterlee

If you qualify and local funding is available, Borthwick Group will arrange a free, professional home survey to assess how your Peterlee property could benefit from energy-saving upgrades. Our surveyors evaluate your home’s layout, insulation, structure, and heating system to recommend improvements that will deliver the greatest benefits in comfort and energy efficiency.

Common recommendations include:

• Insulation upgrades, including loft, cavity wall, internal wall, and underfloor insulation

• Low-carbon heating systems, such as air source heat pumps

• Smart heating controls, helping you manage your home’s energy use more efficiently

• Solar PV panels, allowing your home to generate clean, renewable electricity

Once the recommended improvements are agreed upon, our team manages the full process — from planning and installation to compliance checks and completion. If the grant covers the full cost, homeowners will not need to pay anything. In some privately rented properties, landlords may be required to contribute.

We aim to make the process simple and stress-free for Peterlee residents, ensuring you gain the maximum benefit from the Warm Homes: Local Grant Peterlee.
