Home Retrofitting in Dublin 6.

Dublin 6 · The area

Why home retrofitting in Dublin 6 are a familiar brief.

Dublin 6's Victorian and Edwardian red-brick terraces carry solid 9-inch brick construction throughout, with the heavy ACA-and-protected-structure context that constrains external wall insulation to rear elevations only (and often not even there given the public visibility of the rear from neighbouring streets). The move is internal wall insulation on the external walls (carefully detailed to manage condensation risk and protect original cornicing, skirting and picture rails), attic-insulation top-up, airtightness detailing at the wall-ceiling junction, and where possible floor insulation pulled in from above during a floor strip-out. Heat-recovery ventilation features in larger projects where ductwork can be coordinated within the period ceiling depths. SEAI grant eligibility varies; we coordinate the BER assessor on projects that go for grant funding.

Home Retrofitting · How we run it

Home Retrofitting in Dublin 6, the way it should be done.

A home retrofit is more than insulation. Done properly, it treats the house as one system: the fabric, the windows and doors, airtightness, ventilation and heating are designed together so each upgrade supports the others. Marcin holds certification from Engineers Ireland in Retrofitting and Energy Efficiency and has completed advanced retrofit skills training at Mount Lucas National Construction Training Campus.

Every home retrofitting project in Dublin 6 is run personally by Marcin's in-house team — site visits within the working week on the Dublin side of the city, and same-day answers on WhatsApp. For the full detail on how we approach home retrofitting — process, specification and certification — see the retrofit service page.
