Hi everyone, can anyone help me? I own my house mortgaged obviously Anyway when I bought it, nearly 13 years ago, when it was just built they fitted it with wooden windows double glazed with smears inside, being a bit young and naive then, didnt know how to complain etc etc. Anyway they are in dire need of replacement. Unfortunately can't have white upvc as stipulated by the vendors, can't have a pond either, but they'll never find out . Anyway back to the real reason, does anyone know if scc give grants to homeowners to replace the wooden windows, did email the council with no reply so far (2 weeks ago) just that some colleagues at work mentioned it and nearly 4000 is a lot to save up on ya own. Anyone can help, will appreciate it. Cheers guys.

Is it ex council ? Ours is and just before we moved in they decided to replace all front windows of our estate - regardless if you privately owned it, at no cost. I rang up to see if this was still available a few years later as only just found out. They said funding had run out in our area (s2) but would contact us if anymore funding came in.

You can apply for a Home Improvement grant but you have belong to certain criteria's i.e OAP, in receipt of certain benefits etc. Check out the DWP website on Home Improvement Grants
