Local Housing Stock

Carrickmacross property profiles

Monaghan has a varied mix of housing types, from older stone cottages and solid block farmhouses to modern housing estates. Many solid-wall properties in County Monaghan suffer from high heat loss and dampness because they lack a cavity wall. External wall insulation is the most effective retrofit method for these properties, protecting the structural walls and dramatically boosting the BER rating.
