Insulation Contractors in Athlone
Athlone straddles the Shannon and two counties, and its housing reflects a town that grew fast. There is a compact older core of terraced and semi-detached town housing, a large ring of 1990s and 2000s estate development on the Monksland and Coosan sides, and rural properties beyond.

What houses in Athlone are actually like
Athlone straddles the Shannon and two counties, and its housing reflects a town that grew fast. There is a compact older core of terraced and semi-detached town housing, a large ring of 1990s and 2000s estate development on the Monksland and Coosan sides, and rural properties beyond.
The problem specific to this area
The town-centre terraces are often solid wall with shared party walls, which changes the calculation: a mid-terrace loses far less heat through walls than a detached house, so the roof and windows become proportionally more important. Spending heavily on wall insulation in a mid-terrace can be the wrong priority.
What we usually recommend in Athlone
For mid-terrace town housing we usually look at attic and windows first, because that is where the loss actually is. The estate housing on the edges of the town is standard cavity work. We cover both sides of the river as one area.
Terraced town housing often tests better than owners expect, around C3–D1, because of the shared walls. Estate housing sits similarly.

It depends on how your walls are built, not on the county alone. This is a sheltered zone by Irish standards, which widens the range of systems that will perform well and usually keeps costs down.

Cost depends on the wall area, the system and the condition of the existing fabric, so a figure quoted without seeing the house is guesswork. We charge €100 for a measured survey and refund it in full against your order, so the survey costs nothing if you proceed.
If your home was built and occupied before 2011 you are likely eligible. Grant amounts vary by dwelling type — a detached house receives more than an apartment for the same measure. The current amounts by house type are set out on our SEAI grants page.
