Retrofitting & Insulation in Ranelagh: Period Georgian terraced home exterior with sash windows

Ranelagh · The area

Why retrofitting and insulation in Ranelagh are a familiar brief.

Ranelagh's Victorian and Edwardian red-brick terraces carry solid 9-inch brick construction throughout, with original sash glazing in many properties and the heavy ACA-and-protected-structure context that constrains external wall insulation to side and rear elevations only (and often only the rear). The move is internal wall insulation on the external walls (carefully detailed to manage condensation risk and protect any original cornicing or skirting), attic-insulation top-up, airtightness detailing at the wall-ceiling junction, and where possible floor insulation pulled in from above during the floor strip-out. Heat-recovery ventilation features in larger projects where ductwork can be coordinated within the period ceilings. SEAI grant eligibility depends on the project specification.
