Dundrum · The area
Why retrofitting and insulation in Dundrum are a familiar brief.
Dundrum's mixed housing brings split retrofit briefs. The pre-war and period semis around Churchtown and the village carry solid 9-inch brick construction and original glazing (or replacement single-glazing), where the retrofit move is internal wall insulation on the external walls plus attic-insulation top-up and airtightness detailing; external wall insulation is constrained on these properties by ACA and conservation context that protects the front elevation. The Ballinteer, Sweetmount and Wesley mid-century estate housing carries cavity construction where cavity-fill is the primary intervention, alongside attic top-up and airtightness at the wall-ceiling junction. Heat-recovery ventilation features in larger projects. Original glazing is usually already replaced; original floors are often the lowest-hanging baseline upgrade.
Retrofitting & Insulation · How we run it
Retrofitting & Insulation in Dundrum, 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 Dundrum 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.

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.
