The Wicklow County Council Small Grant Scheme document may be a little confusing in relation to the BER requirement.
The grant document states that:
“To facilitate this analysis a BER Certificate must be provided both before works are started and on completion of same.
It is a condition of this grant scheme that all BER information furnished may be used and shared in summary format for analysis purposes.”
Based on previous years –
A requirement to get a Ballynagran grant.
– SO it is NOT needed for your application.
You can claim €100 of the overall €5000 (2026), €4000 (2022), €3000 (2015) towards the BER certificate.
Do not forget to claim for this on your submission.
If you already have a BER from the last small grant scheme this will be your before works BER.
You will need to have a BER performed after the works are complete.
If you did not previously have a BER – then the BER assessor, when doing the after works BER will give the before and after rating which avoids a separate BER prior to the work taking place.
In other words – do not waste your time having a before BER done if you do not already have one – this is part of the after works BER anyway…Just make sure the assessor indicates the before works rating.
DO NOT HAVE MORE THAN 1 BER CARRIED OUT.
All Wicklow County Council is looking for is your before and after works ratings which will be on the after works BER.
Hope that clarifies things .
