Who typically qualifies
Could you be eligible for window funding?
Eligibility depends on your circumstances and a home survey, but funding and contribution options are most often available to people who:
- Own their own home, or have the homeowner’s permission to arrange work
- Have older, single-glazed or draughty windows that could be more efficient
- Live in a property that would benefit from warmer, quieter rooms
- Are happy to have a free, no-obligation home survey
£0-upfront options may be available for those who qualify. Window funding is never a government grant and is not simply “free” windows — it means funding and contribution options, subject to eligibility and a home survey.

Common questions
Window funding questions, answered
Is window funding the same as a government grant?
No. Window funding is not a government grant and does not mean free windows. It refers to funding and contribution options offered by installers, subject to eligibility and a home survey.
What does “£0 upfront” actually mean?
For those who qualify, it can mean you do not need to pay anything before work begins. That is not the same as free — you may still contribute over time, and it is always subject to eligibility and a home survey.
Do I have to own my home?
Funding is arranged with the property owner. Homeowners can apply directly; if you rent, you can still ask about your options, but the homeowner will need to give their permission.
How long does the eligibility check take?
The online form takes about 60 seconds. If it looks like you may qualify, a matched installer can arrange a free, no-obligation home survey.
What happens to the details I submit?
We use them to contact you about your enquiry and may pass qualified enquiries to a matched installer who can help. You can read exactly how in our privacy policy.
