What to check before you hire an insulation contractor
- Use an SEAI-registered contractor if you plan to claim a grant
- Don't start work before your grant is approved
- Ask for a ventilation check as part of the job
- Check what making good is included (sockets, skirting, window reveals, external fittings)
- Ask for the product's NSAI Agrément or equivalent certification
What affects the price
- Wall type (cavity, solid or timber frame)
- House size and number of exposed walls
- Insulation material and thickness
- Ventilation and making good around fittings
- Whether an SEAI grant is being used
Call-out fees usually cover travel and the first period of labour. Ask whether yours does, and what the hourly rate is after that.
How to compare quotes
- Use an SEAI-registered contractor if you plan to claim a grant
- Don't start work before your grant is approved
- Ask for a ventilation check as part of the job
- Check what making good is included (sockets, skirting, window reveals, external fittings)
- Ask for the product's NSAI Agrément or equivalent certification
Compare what is included, not just the headline price. The cheapest quote often leaves out preparation, making good or certification.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do insulation quotes vary so much?
Quotes differ in what they include: preparation, parts, making good, certification and guarantees. Ask for an itemised quote so you can compare like for like.
Do these prices include VAT?
Yes, the guide ranges include VAT. Always check whether a written quote is inclusive or exclusive of VAT.
Is it cheaper to book outside peak times?
Often, for planned work. Emergency and out-of-hours call-outs cost more at any time of year.
Are there SEAI grants for insulation?
Yes. SEAI offers grants for attic, cavity wall, internal and external wall insulation for qualifying older homes. Check seai.ie for current amounts and conditions.
Will insulation cause damp?
Not when it is installed properly with adequate ventilation. A ventilation check should be part of any insulation job.
Which insulation saves the most?
For most homes, attic and cavity wall insulation give the quickest payback. Solid-wall homes gain most from internal or external wall insulation.
