Lucan · The area
Why retrofitting and insulation in Lucan are a familiar brief.
Lucan's 1970s and 1980s estate housing is prime EWI territory: pre-cavity-fill construction with single-glazing original spec (often already replaced), where external wall insulation typically lifts BER from F or G to B2 or B3 in a single intervention, combined with attic-insulation top-up and airtightness detailing at the wall-ceiling junction. Newer Adamstown and Esker housing is already to a higher build spec (cavity-fill, modern glazing, decent airtightness from build) and usually only needs targeted upgrades like attic top-up or floor insulation. The older village terraces and pre-war semis carry solid wall construction where internal wall insulation is the move (EWI is typically constrained on the front elevations by conservation context). SEAI grant eligibility is strong for the estate stock retrofits.
Retrofitting & Insulation · How we run it
Retrofitting & Insulation in Lucan, 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 Lucan 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.
