Foxrock · The area
Why retrofitting and insulation in Foxrock are a familiar brief.
Foxrock's post-war detached and large-semi housing typically sits at a B3 to C1 BER baseline, with original glazing largely replaced over the last twenty years but no airtightness intervention and minimal floor insulation. The single retrofit move that delivers the largest BER uplift here is usually external wall insulation on the rear and side elevations only. Foxrock streets tend to keep the front facade original for streetscape consistency, so EWI is run as a back-and-sides job rather than a wraparound, combined with attic top-up and airtightness detailing at the wall-ceiling junction. Heat-recovery ventilation suits the larger Foxrock plot layouts where outlet placement is not constrained by neighbour proximity. We rarely run full pre-cavity-fill F or G interventions in this area; the stock does not need them. A targeted package can shift a typical B3 Foxrock home to a strong A3 without disrupting the front-of-house presentation the area is known for.
Retrofitting & Insulation · How we run it
Retrofitting & Insulation in Foxrock, 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 Foxrock 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.
