Cavity walls are pumped by drilling small holes less than 22mm a €2 coin (in a pattern set out by the SEAI & NSAI) the cavity is filled with a high grade polystyrene insulation under 2/3 bar air pressure and glue. The holes are filled with mortar to match the existing finish.
Normally there is a cavity behind red brick and this can be pumped with insulation
However some houses in Dublin are built with hollow/cavity blocks and are finished in a dash plaster to the back /sides and red brick to front . The hollow /cavity block would require another insulation solution.
I have seen houses in the same estate that look the same but have very different wall construction.
I would suggest that you give us a call and We could do quick wall inspection and give to the best advise and cost effective solution to insulate your home
Cheers
Bob.
