Insulation & energy surveys in Ranelagh
Insulation and energy surveys in Ranelagh's Victorian and Edwardian red-brick terraces, where front walls usually stay as they are and the gains come from attics, rear walls, floors and draughts.
Homes in Ranelagh
Victorian and Edwardian red-brick terraces, typically three windows wide, with high-ceilinged period interiors and long rear gardens.
Solid 9-inch brick walls, suspended timber floors, open chimneys and large sash windows mean many Ranelagh homes rate E to G. Rear returns are often a mix of original brick and later block additions, so heat loss differs from front to back. Draughts are a large share of the loss.
Planning and conservation: Most of Ranelagh is within Architectural Conservation Areas and many terraces are protected structures, so external insulation on front elevations is rarely an option.
For extensions, carpentry and whole-house retrofits in Ranelagh, our parent company MZCC.ie covers the same area.
