How eligibility works
Funding options depend on eligibility and a home survey. Here’s the honest order things happen in — no surprises.
-
A quick, soft check
An initial eligibility check is designed as a soft search, so exploring your options need not affect your credit score. You’re simply seeing what may be possible.
-
A home survey
If you’d like to go further, an installer surveys your windows and doors to confirm what’s needed and price the work accurately.
-
Your decision
You’ll see the funding routes you may qualify for in writing, with clear terms. Acceptance is never guaranteed, and the choice is always yours.
Why the soft search matters
A soft search lets you weigh up funding for new windows without the footprint a full application would leave. It’s a low-commitment way to understand where you stand.

Window funding questions, answered
Is this a government grant or scheme?
No. Window Funding UK is about private funding routes only — there’s no government grant involved. We explain options such as spreading the cost and paying monthly, all subject to eligibility and a home survey.
Will checking my options affect my credit score?
An initial eligibility check is designed as a soft search, so it need not affect your credit score. A full application, if you choose to make one later, works differently — the installer or lender will explain the details before you proceed.
Can I really get new windows with nothing upfront?
£0-upfront options may be available for those who qualify. Whether a no-deposit route is open to you depends on eligibility and a home survey — acceptance is never guaranteed.
Do I have to be a homeowner?
Funding routes are arranged for homeowners, as that’s who a lender and installer will deal with. If you rent, you can still explore options, but the homeowner will need to give the go-ahead before any work is agreed.
What happens after I submit the form?
We match your details with an installer who can talk you through the funding routes you may qualify for. There’s no obligation, and you decide whether to book a home survey.
