Pick everything that applies.
Just the homeowner and spouse. Adult children's income doesn't count.
The forms, the documents, the trade reports, the follow-up with the council. All of it. You sign; we do the rest.
No forms for you today. We ring you, and we take it from there.
Someone from Ballyhome will ring you within one working day, and we'll take it from there. Have the LPT property ID handy if you can find it; if not, we'll help you find that too.
Most people who qualify for these grants never apply. Not because the work isn't needed, but because the application is a job in itself: forms, income documents, LPT proof, insurance letters, trade reports, three quotes, and months of chasing the council.
So here's how we've decided to do things: if you'd rather not deal with any of it, you don't have to.
Prefer to handle the application yourself? No bother. We'll give you everything you need from the contractor's side and you take it from there. Both roads lead to the same place.

And you barely touch a form.
What needs doing, which grant fits, what it will roughly cost. If something doesn't need doing, you'll hear that too.
One sit-down or one phone call. We fill in the form, we list the documents, we gather the reports, ours and yours. You sign it; that's your whole job.
Approval typically takes a few weeks to a few months depending on the council and the grant. You'll hear from us with updates. You won't be left wondering.
The golden rule with every one of these grants: work started before approval doesn't get funded. We will never suggest starting early, whatever the weather is doing.
The work finished properly, the house left clean, and the completion paperwork sent in so the grant gets paid out without delay.
Level-access showers, rails at the heights you specify, turning circles respected, thresholds flush. We read OT reports properly and we build what they say, then document the finished works for your file.
And for your clients who find the application daunting: we handle the entire paperwork side for them, free. Which tends to mean your recommendations actually get built.
