Questions about grants for plant hire work

Which grants can I get for work by plant hire companies?

The Septic tank grant. Official maximums were checked in October 2026.

Do I need approval before the work starts?

For almost every grant, yes. SEAI grants need a grant offer first, and council grants need the council's approval of the quote. Work that starts too early usually isn't covered.

Is this questionnaire a guarantee?

No. It is a rough guide based on each grant's published rules. SEAI or your council decides, and what you get depends on your home, the work and, for some grants, your income.

Are you a plant hire?

Homeowners with a grant need a contractor whose invoice gets the claim paid first time.
