"Under no circumstances does he want loft or cavity insulation installed. And you most certainly are not allowed to hang curtains"
Is he making a profit from the electricity/gas meters ? .. the Council may have a bit to say about this .. but in the end .. is it worth upsetting the landlord ?

Perhaps the landlord is concerned about cowboys doing a "free" job which will cost to put right when they damage the roof, walls, ceilings etc.
A distinctly dodgy bloke door stepped my wife to sign for this a few weeks back. We eventually told them we had changed our minds as was our right re "cooling-off" regulations but they didn't like it!

Very true Len, BUT insulation is so widespread now that there is a lot of information about firms doing the work. EDF/BGas/Eon etc etc all have schemes and I'm sure that they use only reputable companies. I was 'doorstepped'. A bloke knocked on my door etc etc ... I said I'd go for it, he handed me the paperwork and straight away I checked up on the firm that would be doing the job. They came and did a terrific job, left no mess etc etc .. I am WELL pleased so far, the house feels warmer, more 'cozy' and less 'echoey' .. all for free. I agree you have to be careful but a bit of savvy research would/should flush out the fakers
My dad had it done a couple of weeks back along with cavity wall.
He had a load of stuff stored up in the loft so asked if I could pop round to move it all into a small corner for the men to work round. He had a double knee replacement recently and so was not upto it.
As agreed I went round started moving it about and whilst carrying a box slipped off a joist and straight through his bedroom ceiling covering there newly changed bed in thick black dust. Mum was fuming and never spoke to me for a week, had to have that repaird as well.
Had loft insulation done today paid for by Greenwich Council. Done and dusted in an hour. Looks a neat job. Time will tell how much difference it makes.
