Clontarf · The area
Why retrofitting and insulation in Clontarf are a familiar brief.
Clontarf retrofit briefs split sharply between the Edwardian seafront terraces (solid 9-inch brick, original sash glazing on many properties, ACA-protected front elevations) and the Tudor-revival semis (cavity construction, replacement glazing common, more flexible scope). The seafront stock typically needs internal wall insulation on the external walls (external wall insulation is rarely possible given the protected front elevations), with attic-insulation top-up and airtightness detailing at the wall-ceiling junction. Coastal exposure means airtightness is more impactful here than the inland equivalent. The Tudor semis and Marino inland stock support standard cavity-fill plus attic top-up retrofits. SEAI grant eligibility varies by property and BER baseline; we coordinate the BER assessor where the project goes for grant funding.
Retrofitting & Insulation · How we run it
Retrofitting & Insulation in Clontarf, the way it should be done.
Retrofitting an Irish home is where craftsmanship and building science meet. Marcin holds certification from Engineers Ireland in Retrofitting and Energy Efficiency, has completed advanced retrofit skills training at Mount Lucas National Construction Training Campus, and is a certified Baumit installer for external wall insulation systems.
Our retrofit work covers the full envelope: external wall insulation systems applied and rendered correctly so the detailing at reveals, eaves and sills is right; internal wall insulation where EWI is not practical (terraced fronts, protected facades); attic insulation upgrades to current spec; airtightness membranes detailed and tested; and heat-recovery ventilation specified to keep the air fresh in the airtight envelope.
For full-home retrofits we coordinate the BER assessment, the works package and the certification so the project is properly graded and grant-eligible where applicable.
The work in Clontarf runs to the same specification we apply everywhere across Dublin and Leinster. Materials, sub-trade coordination, planning context and final certification are all managed from one studio. If your project is on the dublin side of the city, expect site visits within the working week and same-day responses on WhatsApp.

Yes. Clontarf is a regular service area for us. Renovations and extensions in Clontarf — Edwardian red-bricks along the seafront, Tudor-style semis along the Castle Avenue and Vernon Avenue corridors, and the inland Marino terraces. Period detailing, careful planning, and a service area that knows the coastal weather. If your project sits in this area we will arrange a site visit, give you an honest indication of scope and timeline at the first meeting, and follow up with a written fixed-price quotation.
Yes. Marcin is a certified Baumit installer (completed through Chadwicks Training Academy) and holds Engineers Ireland certification in Retrofitting and Energy Efficiency.
In many cases yes — specific grant programmes apply depending on your BER, property type and the works in scope. We will tell you what is available and coordinate the BER assessor where required.
Most semi-detached or terraced homes take 3 to 6 weeks for full EWI, depending on scaffolding access and weather. We schedule EWI projects April to October to avoid the worst weather.
