2026 Edition

External wall insulation Dublin.

Boards fixed to the wall, mesh embedded, render on top. Not a paint job — a new layer of the building that cuts heat loss through solid walls by 30–40%.

Second-wall rule: if you already have cavity fill → next step is IWI or EWI. If you already have IWI → EWI only. If you already have EWI → no second external wall grant.

What Else Affects the Price?

Many "cheap" quotes exclude necessary site works. We believe in 100% transparency. Here are the common extras that might push your quote from the lower end to the higher end of the range.

€800 - €1,200

Gas Meter Relocation

If your meter is on the wall being insulated, Bord Gáis must move it. This is a third-party charge.

€200+

Scaffolding Permits

Mandatory if our scaffolding needs to rest on a public footpath (common for terraced homes).

€400 - €600

Soil Pipe Adjustment

If your waste pipes are tight against the wall, they must be extended outward to sit flush with the new insulation.
