Foxrock · The area

Why home retrofitting 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.

Home Retrofitting · How we run it

Home Retrofitting in Foxrock, 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 Foxrock 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.
