Renovation, construction and retrofit

Retrofitting or "deep retrofitting" is a whole house approach to ensure your comfort and heat levels are achieved.

Walls, windows, heating systems, ventilation, floors and attics are the main focus areas to be improved.

You may be happy where you live and and with your neighbours you have come to know and rely on. You may be wary of moving from your existing home.

That said, many homes were built in an age before modern insulation and heating systems.

The solution here is a retrofit. Improving your property up to a more comfortable current standard. B. Donaghey & Sons Ltd have achieved an "A1" rating on 30% of their recent deep retrofit and construction projects.

The SEAI are still funding most retrofit measures to some degree and you can chat to us about grants or with the SEAI directly.

External Wall Insulation

Considered one of the best types of insulation, External Wall Insulation leaves your home warm, free from condensation and looking like new.

External Wall Insulation, as the name suggests, is fixed to the outside of the dwelling and a certified render system is then applied.

Cavity Wall Insulation

Cavity wall insulation is done by either building an insulation board into the cavity during construction or by pumping an insulation and adhesive bead into the cavity after construction is finished.

This is the area where the return on an insulation investment is quickest.

A minimum of 300mm (12 inches) of fibreglass insulation is considered a requirement also when applying for external wall insulation by the SEAI better energy homes grants team.
