by doing it that way will you still qualify for the grant. do you still not have to go through someone registered on the site as a contractor? because surely if you dont ,could'nt we all just apply for the grant and pocket the grant , not that im implying for a moment that you personally are doing or know anyone that is cheersI am looking to get an attic insulated for an elderly relative having being approved by SEI for the grant. The house is a 3 bed detached bungalow and I want to bring the existing 100m attic insulation up to 300m. I would prefer to provide the materials myself and just pay for labour but am looking for some guideance as to what to expect?

thats what i thoughtThere are very strict conditions for the grant. You will have to use an approved contractor and I would be very surpriced if a contrator would stand over any materials they didn't supply.
ive seen adds in the likes of City Adds and the Northside People were their quoting €480 for attic insulation in a typical semi.( if there is such a thing). but as with everything else in this country the price of something always seems to go up once a grant of any amount is involved
One is SEI approved. Also getting gas heating and controls installed and some double glazing hence the need to seek out best value.

Well said. A developer once told me that if there was a grant was going for a new house, he always factored it into the asking price.
Your best bet is getting a quotes from contractors that can do the heating, controls and insulation, you will probably get a better deal with the more work that is availible.
You will need anyother contractor to do DG, this is not covered by SEI grant.
I am an approved contractor and there is huge interest in this scheme, I haven't changed my prices, cheaper if anything. There will always be contractors who will do the dog but most will chanrge what the market can stand. People are shopping around so the contractor who is greedy is a contractor with little work.
