What houses in Roscommon are actually like
Roscommon is predominantly rural, and the housing reflects it: a large stock of detached bungalows built between the 1960s and 1990s, alongside older farmhouses and cottages with solid stone or mass-concrete walls.
The problem specific to this area
Rural bungalows of that era share a specific weakness. They are single-storey, so the roof accounts for a much larger share of the heat-loss envelope than it does in a two-storey house — often closer to a third than the quarter you would expect. Many also have generously sized but poorly sealed attics, where the insulation was laid between joists decades ago and has since been compressed, disturbed by storage, or simply never topped up.
What we usually recommend in Roscommon
Attic insulation is nearly always the first and cheapest move on a Roscommon bungalow, and it usually delivers the biggest immediate change in comfort. Cavity fill follows well on the 1970s-onward stock. Older stone farmhouses need internal or external wall insulation depending on whether the exterior finish is worth keeping.
Detached rural bungalows of this type commonly sit at D2–E2. Attic and cavity together often reach C2–C3.

It depends on how your walls are built, not on the county alone. Exposure here is moderate, which leaves most systems on the table. The decision comes down to the construction of your particular house. Attic insulation is nearly always the first and cheapest move on a Roscommon bungalow, and it usually delivers the biggest immediate change in comfort. Cavity fill follows well on the 1970s-onward stock. Older stone farmhouses need internal or external wall insulation depending on whether the exterior finish is worth keeping.
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.
