BER Assessments in Blackrock & Dún Laoghaire
The Blackrock and Dún Laoghaire area has one of Dublin's most varied and characterful housing stocks. Victorian and Edwardian terraces line the streets of Monkstown, Glasthule and the Dún Laoghaire seafront. Blackrock village is surrounded by a mix of period homes and 1950s–70s semi-detached houses. Further along the coast, Dalkey and Killiney feature larger detached properties, many dating from the early 20th century. Shankill and Ballybrack have significant 1970s–80s estate housing alongside newer developments. Solid-wall construction is common in the older period properties, making them more challenging, and more expensive, to insulate. Typical BER ratings range from E to G for unimproved Victorian homes, D to E for mid-century semis, and B to C for homes that have already undergone upgrades.

BER Tips for Blackrock & Dún Laoghaire Homeowners
Period homes in Monkstown and Dún Laoghaire often have solid 9-inch brick or stone walls. Internal dry-lining or external wall insulation are the main options, both eligible for SEAI grants. Many 1960s semis in Blackrock and Stillorgan have flat-roof extensions with little or no insulation, addressing these can be a quick win. If you have a pre-1980 home in Dalkey or Killiney with original timber sash windows, secondary glazing can improve your BER without altering the character of the building.
