Insulation & energy surveys in Lucan
Insulation and energy surveys in Lucan, Esker and Adamstown. The 1970s and 1980s estates here are some of the best candidates in west Dublin for cavity fill, attic top-ups and external insulation.
Homes in Lucan
Village terraces and pre-war semis near the centre, 1970s and 1980s estate housing through Esker and the middle of the town, and newer Adamstown developments.
The 1970s and 1980s estates are the bulk of the housing and typically sit at C3 to D2, held back by empty or partly filled cavities, thin attic insulation and early glazing. Some earlier estate houses were built with hollow block rather than cavity walls, which need external insulation instead. Adamstown homes are newer and mainly benefit from airtightness checks.
Planning and conservation: The village core has conservation context; the estates generally allow external insulation as exempted development.
For extensions, carpentry and whole-house retrofits in Lucan, our parent company MZCC.ie covers the same area.
