Lauren MacLennan, 28, and Fraser Tracey, 26, signed up to a government-backed home energy improvement scheme before purchasing their home in Port Glasgow.

A couple whose roof started leaking after they had solar panels fitted have been forced to catch rainwater in a wheelie bin.

They have now spent £100 on bins, buckets, and tarpaulins to contain the leak. Lauren said: "It's just a nightmare. We've saved up for years to buy our own house and we don't have the money to get a brand new roof. We've been waiting at least two months and they promised us that they'd fixed the issues."

"We would have got the roof seen to but with the way everything is at the moment we can't spend that money. If they said to us 'sorry, we can't put them up, the roof isn't fit for purpose', we would've been fine with that." A spokesperson for Everwarm said that the company is 'aware of the issues' with the Port Glasgow property and is 'confident' that they are not the result of their improvement work.
