Insulation Contractors in Clare
Clare divides between the Shannon and Ennis corridor — planned development from the 1960s onward, much of it built for the airport and industrial estate — and the western coastal strip, where older stone and rendered construction dominates and exposure is extreme.

What houses in Clare are actually like
Clare divides between the Shannon and Ennis corridor — planned development from the 1960s onward, much of it built for the airport and industrial estate — and the western coastal strip, where older stone and rendered construction dominates and exposure is extreme.
The problem specific to this area
West Clare faces the Atlantic with nothing in between. Wind-driven rain here is at the top of the national scale, and it governs what will and will not work. A cavity in a coastal Clare property is frequently doing an active drainage job, carrying water down and out rather than letting it reach the inner leaf. Fill it with the wrong material and you build a bridge for that water.
What we usually recommend in Clare
On the coast we lead with external wall insulation, because a properly detailed render system keeps the weather off the structure entirely. Around Ennis and Shannon, where exposure drops, cavity fill is often perfectly appropriate and far cheaper. The survey decides, not the postcode.
Coastal properties often test worse than their construction suggests, because damp walls conduct heat. Drying the fabric out and insulating externally can move a property two bands or more.

It depends on how your walls are built, not on the county alone. This is a severe wind-driven-rain exposure zone. It genuinely changes which systems are appropriate, and any contractor who does not raise it with you has not looked.

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.
