Energy scam as others have said here
Very lifelike voice suggesting loft insulation could be dangerous and offering a survey. If you ask enough questions or repeat a question the whole spiel will start again or just cut off. Very dodgy as the voice is so realistic. Beware!
No-one answered when I picked up the phone so I rang back. Call answered fairly promptly saying I was through to Energy Hub and my loft insulation was out-of-date and would I like a survey. Told the speaker that the house was rented and she’d have to talk to the landlord. She thanked me and rang off.
