We are a community-run not-for-profit kindergarten based in Ballydehob & have applied for Pobal's Building Blocks Improvement Grant funding - strand B, which is min 35,000 & max 75,000 including VAT. The bulk of the works would need to be completed during school break in Summer 2023 with an option to start during the Easter holidays & complete over Halloween mid-term. We have gotten a surveyor's report & would like to tackle as many of the points he has identified as possible while staying within budget: - Remove old storage heater & fit 4 smart electric radiators/heaters with guards (3 in main room & 1 in annex). - Replace windows & external doors with double glazed units (U value 1.2) & PVC sills.
