The current scheme offers grants of up to 80% of scheme costs, plus the first year’s maintenance.
For the purposes of the OHCT grant only one quotation is required. You may however wish to talk to more than one supplier.
Any grant awarded will be conditional on:
- All necessary permissions being received prior to installation taking place.
(For Anglican churches a faculty is not required, since the fitting of a roof alarm is designated a List A work. Other permissions may however be needed.) - your insurer approving the roof alarm system being installed
- the amount of associated cabling being kept to the minimum reasonably practicable
- any work to an electrical installation being carried out by a person whose work is subject to an accredited certification scheme
- the roof alarm system and associated equipment being maintained for at least five years after the installation date
- all work undertaken to install the roof alarm system being undertaken in compliance with the Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 and any other acts, orders, regulations and codes of practice relating to health and safety, which may apply to employees and other persons working on the installation of the roof alarm system.
Please note that we cannot give grants for alarm systems that have already been installed.
