Do I have to use one of these companies to get the grant?

Yes. SEAI only pays a grant on work done by a company on its register, and the company claims it on your behalf. Work done by anyone else is not covered, however good it is.

How many quotes should I get in Westmeath?

Three, from companies registered for the same job, and ask each for a written breakdown. Quotes for the same house often differ by thousands because they include different work, not because one is dearer.

Is this list in any order of merit?

No. Companies based in Westmeath come first, then the ones that travel to it, then One Stop Shops, then alphabetical. Being on the register means the paperwork is in order, not that the work is good.
