Goatstown · The area
Why retrofitting and insulation in Goatstown are a familiar brief.
Goatstown's mixed housing brings split retrofit briefs. The period semis closer to Clonskeagh carry solid wall construction with original sash glazing in many properties, where internal wall insulation on the external walls is the primary move (carefully detailed to manage condensation risk and protect any original skirting and cornicing), alongside attic top-up and airtightness detailing at the wall-ceiling junction. The post-war detached stock through the centre and the mid-century estate housing toward Mount Merrion carry cavity construction where cavity-fill is the primary intervention, combined with attic top-up and airtightness work. Heat-recovery ventilation features in larger projects where ductwork can be coordinated. SEAI grant eligibility varies by property and BER baseline; we coordinate the BER assessor where the project goes for grant funding. UCD and RTÉ proximity supports a strong renovation market for retrofit alongside house renovations.
Retrofitting & Insulation · How we run it
Retrofitting & Insulation in Goatstown, 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 Goatstown 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.
