Boiler and Heating grants

We are offering discretionary grant assistance to cover some, or all, of the cost of replacing broken or inefficient household boilers and electric storage heaters.

The grant can also cover the cost of installing first time central heating if you do not have it. 

Funding for these grants is limited. After checking if you qualify for help, please contact the Private Sector Housing Team by emailing privatesectorhousing@fenland.gov.uk or by calling 01354 654321.
