TO highlight Cold Homes Week from February 2 to 6, the National Insulation Association (NIA) is urging householders to act now and insulate.

The Cold Homes Week campaign aims to stop people losing hundreds of pounds through poorly insulated homes.

The best way to find out if a house requires insulation is to contact an NIA installer member for a free survey and advice on any grants or schemes that can help with paying for insulation measures.

To find an NIA member, householders and landlords should visit the NIA website nia-uk.org or call 08451 636363.
