Homes in South Dublin City and what that means for insulation work
Some of Dublin's densest period housing: Victorian and Edwardian red-brick in Ranelagh, Rathgar, Harold's Cross, Sandymount and Donnybrook, larger period homes in Ballsbridge, and 1930s–1960s suburbs in Churchtown and Dundrum. Many streets are conservation areas and some homes are protected structures.
Solid brick walls in period homes are usually insulated internally to protect the facade, often with breathable systems where moisture is a concern.
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 South Dublin City?

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?
