What houses in Longford are actually like
Longford is the smallest county we cover by population and has a correspondingly older housing profile — a high proportion of pre-1970s rural cottages and farmhouses, many with solid stone or mass-concrete walls, alongside a smaller layer of newer bungalow and estate development.
The problem specific to this area
Older solid-wall properties are where the real savings sit, and also where the most care is needed. A solid stone wall manages moisture by breathing. Wrapping it in the wrong material traps that moisture inside the structure, which damages the fabric and can cause mould on the inside face. This is not a theoretical risk; it is the most common way a well-intentioned insulation job goes wrong.
What we usually recommend in Longford
On solid-wall Longford properties we survey the wall construction before recommending anything. Where the fabric needs to breathe, a vapour-open external system or a breathable internal build-up is the right answer rather than a standard board. Attic work is safe and worthwhile on almost any property here.
Uninsulated solid-wall rural cottages frequently test at E2–G. These are the properties where the improvement is most dramatic, often three or four bands.

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.
