UK scrappage schemes, clean air support and boiler replacement grants

The UK market mixes national grants with local or city-led support schemes, especially for heating upgrades and clean air compliance.

The UK does not have one single scrappage scheme. Instead, it has a mix of national support, such as the Boiler Upgrade Scheme in England and Wales, and local or city-led support for non-compliant vehicles affected by clean air or low emission rules.

That makes geography matter. A scheme may be open in one city, limited to certain residents or workers, or designed for a specific vehicle type such as vans, taxis or heavy goods vehicles.

What this hub covers

  • National heating system replacement support where a formal grant exists
  • Clean Air Zone and Low Emission Zone support relevant to cars, vans, taxis and some business vehicles
  • Practical guidance on documents, timing and next steps

Country hub FAQ

Is there one national UK car scrappage scheme?

No. UK vehicle support is mostly local, city-led or tied to clean air and low emission rules rather than one permanent nationwide scheme.

What is the main UK heating replacement grant right now?

For England and Wales, the main national route in this content pack is the Boiler Upgrade Scheme.

Why do UK pages focus so much on location?

Because support often depends on where you live, where you work, where your vehicle is licensed, or whether your property sits in the right jurisdiction.
