It is the internal alternative to external wall insulation for solid-wall homes and is widely used across older Irish properties where external works are not practical.

Dry-Lining Insulation in Laois: Common Questions

How Many Dry-Lining Insulation Contractors Are There in Laois?

There are 11 SEAI-registered dry-lining insulation contractors based in Laois. Every one is drawn from the official SEAI register, which is what keeps the work grant-eligible.

How Much Does Dry-Lining Insulation Cost in Laois?

Laois being a inland midlands county overlooked by the Slieve Bloom Mountains means access varies, and a quote should always come from a contractor who has seen the house.

Which Towns in Laois Are Covered?

The contractors listed here work across Laois, including Portlaoise, Portarlington, Mountmellick, Abbeyleix, Mountrath and Rathdowney. Most travel well beyond their registered address, so it is worth ringing a contractor based a county over rather than assuming they will not come.

Is My Laois Home Suitable?

Solid block and stone in the older rural stock, with cavity construction across the newer Portlaoise development. Dry lining suits solid-wall homes where external insulation is not an option, whether because of planning constraints, a protected structure, a shared elevation on a terrace, or simply no room to build the wall outward.

How Is the SEAI Grant Paid in Laois?

Through a One Stop Shop the grant comes off the price upfront. Apply yourself and you pay in full, then SEAI pays you back once the work is signed off. The grant for dry-lining insulation is €4,500, checked against SEAI on 31 July 2026. It works the same way everywhere in the country, so there is nothing specific to Laois beyond choosing a contractor on the SEAI register, which every contractor on this page is.
