Homes in South West Dublin and what that means for insulation work
1930s–1950s semi-detached homes in Terenure, Kimmage, Walkinstown and parts of Rathfarnham, big 1970s–1980s estates in Tallaght, Firhouse and Knocklyon, and newer apartments around Citywest.
Mid-century homes often have empty cavities or solid concrete block walls, so cavity fill or external wall insulation usually gives the biggest improvement. Homes from the 1990s onwards usually have some wall insulation already, so top-ups, draught proofing and attic upgrades are the common jobs.
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 West Dublin?
Mid-century homes often have empty cavities or solid concrete block walls, so cavity fill or external wall insulation usually gives the biggest improvement. Homes from the 1990s onwards usually have some wall insulation already, so top-ups, draught proofing and attic upgrades are the common jobs.
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.
