Builders doing external wall insulation?

    Hey There,

    Hopefully this is a pretty straightforward question.

    Can builders do external wall insulation or is it a very specialized task?

    We have an extension to the house which is pretty cold and dragging the house down a little too, so we were looking at getting external wall insulation to just the extension. The only issue is that currently there is a small glass porch which we are aiming to convert to a little utility and obviously it makes sense to do this first. So I was wondering would builders carry out both tasks or would I need to get a builder then a specialized insulation company?

    Thanks,
    Niall

    If their registered with SEAI you get the grant. Any builder could do it, but that doesn't mean thatthey will do it correctly
