I have ageing cables, lead pipes, wiring and boilers. Can I get some government assistance to get it fixed?
I believe some folk who are already getting government handouts are on for a grant of up to £369M for this sort of stuff.
There was a boiler thing happening recently, not sure if that's still on, seemed to be peddled by cold callers though.
Obviously you can get free insulation I think??
Unfortunately if you are fortunate enough to be able to own a house you need to have the money to keep it in good order yourself.

that's what I'm doing now - new rads, new boilers, doors being cut today and walls knocked down, windows in a couple of weeks, kitchen, bathroom, etc. What a mess.
Tefal do a good induction hob for £45 - is my tip.
I'm sure if she put the royal hand down the back of the royal couch she could probably stump up for this herself. Alternatively she can get her slack-jawed flag waving subjects to cough up instead. Gawd bless 'er.
We should petition the beeb to have a fundraiser
