Sandyford · The area
Why home retrofitting in Sandyford are a familiar brief.
Sandyford's 1970s and 1980s housing typically sits at a B3 to C2 BER baseline, with cavity-wall construction throughout but minimal or partial cavity fill, original glazing often already replaced over the years but no airtightness intervention or floor insulation. The retrofit move that delivers the largest single uplift in the area is usually cavity-fill alongside attic-insulation top-up and airtightness detailing at the wall-ceiling junction. External wall insulation features on properties where the cavity is already compromised or where the brief includes a finish upgrade to the external render. Heat-recovery ventilation works well in the consistent cavity-block construction. SEAI grant eligibility is strong for most Sandyford retrofits.
Home Retrofitting · How we run it
Home Retrofitting in Sandyford, 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 Sandyford 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.
