Retrofitting & Insulation in Rathfarnham.

Rathfarnham · The area

Why retrofitting and insulation in Rathfarnham are a familiar brief.

Rathfarnham retrofit briefs split by stock era. The older village stock and pre-war semis around the castle carry solid wall construction where internal wall insulation is the primary move; conservation context constrains external wall insulation on the front elevations of some properties. The mid-century estate housing through Nutgrove and Butterfield carries cavity construction where cavity-fill is the move alongside attic top-up and airtightness. The larger detached homes towards Templeogue and Knocklyon often carry better baseline construction (cavity, replacement glazing) and the retrofit scope is targeted (attic top-up, floor insulation, MVHR upgrades). SEAI grant eligibility varies by property. We coordinate the BER assessor where the project goes for grant funding.

Retrofitting & Insulation · How we run it

Retrofitting & Insulation in Rathfarnham, 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 Rathfarnham 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.
