Youghal's coastal location means properties near the harbour and Claycastle Beach face salt air exposure. This can accelerate corrosion of metal components and cause damp issues. We use marine-grade materials and anti-corrosion treatments where needed, and ensure proper ventilation to prevent moisture buildup. Window and door hardware should be stainless steel or coastal-grade finishes.

Yes, holiday homes can qualify for many energy upgrades. Solar panels with battery storage are particularly popular for holiday homes, allowing you to power the property off-grid. Heat pumps work well for seasonal use. Grant eligibility depends on whether the property is your primary residence — but improvements like insulation and windows often still qualify. Contact us for a tailored assessment.

1970s semi-detached homes in Summerfield typically have cavity walls (suitable for cavity wall insulation) and lofts that likely need topping up. These properties often have single-glazed windows that should be upgraded. A typical upgrade package would include: cavity wall insulation (€300-500 grant), attic insulation (€400-800 grant), and new windows. This combination can move a D-rated home to a B2 or C rating.
