Homes in North Dublin City and what that means for insulation work
A mix of Victorian and Edwardian red-brick terraces around Phibsborough, Stoneybatter, Drumcondra, Fairview and East Wall, and large 1930s–1950s housing schemes in Cabra, Artane and Coolock. Clontarf adds bigger period and mid-century family homes along the bay.
Solid brick walls in period homes are usually insulated internally to protect the facade, often with breathable systems where moisture is a concern. Mid-century homes often have empty cavities or solid concrete block walls, so cavity fill or external wall insulation usually gives the biggest improvement.
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 insulation issues are common in North Dublin City?
Solid brick walls in period homes are usually insulated internally to protect the facade, often with breathable systems where moisture is a concern. Mid-century homes often have empty cavities or solid concrete block walls, so cavity fill or external wall insulation usually gives the biggest improvement.
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.
Do I need planning permission for external wall insulation?
Often not, but it can be needed in some cases, including protected structures and conservation areas. Check with your council before you start.
