We tackle Retrofit projects and produce outstanding results
Sustainable low energy construction has been to the fore in Kilduff construction since 2010, when Donal first researched the German Passivhaus standard for the construction of his own home. Since then, the company has gone on to build several Passivhaus standard homes using a variety of systems and materials. This knowledge and experience are a natural fit for the current task of retro-fitting our existing housing stock. In recent years the SEAI has increased grants significantly to encourage homeowners to retrofit their homes in accordance with government policy and climate mitigation targets.
We have strategically aligned with SEAI project coordinators and SEAI one-stop-shops to be able to offer our clients a comprehensive hassle-free retrofit solution. The government vacant and derelict house grants have also encouraged the redevelopment of such properties, and this is also a natural fit for our experience and core competencies dealing with older lime-based buildings so common to our vernacular heritage. In fact, we are currently engaged in several projects where our clients are availing vacant or derelict grants in addition to SEAI grants and we can offer tailored solutions for both.
Kilduff Construction is proficient in airtightness works and is a certified SIGA installer. Kilduff Construction has achieved some of the best airtightness results in the country and Donal’s own house boasts an impressive 0.32 ACH at 50 pascals. Kilduff construction is also a certified and SEAI registered Baumit external insulation contractor and an SEAI registered contractor for Attic insulation and drylining. We are proficient with the breathable Isover Optima systems for older buildings and with Diathonite cork and lime plaster for our heritage buildings. Combined with our range of micro machinery and skilled operatives and craftsmen we can tackle the deepest of retrofit projects and deliver outstanding results for our clients.

Cannot recommend Donal Kilduff and his team enough after they were recommended to me from a neighbour. From start to finish, Donal listened to my vision and worked with us to help bring that alive. Every interaction with the whole team was so professional, efficient and friendly. The end product was done to a meticulous standard and we are so happy with the result’.
Donal maintained a constructive client relationship throughout our build and ensured that high quality detail design was applied to the project. I would definitely recommend Donal for similar projects in the future—his expertise and collaborative approach made everything run smoothly.
Whilst I was delighted when I found out I had secured Kilduff Construction to do my house renovations I only truly realised how lucky I was in retrospect. Donal and his team went above and beyond in every aspect of the renovation. What impressed me the most was the attention to detail even down to the smallest one. Donal took the time to have a number of meetings with me to find out what exactly I wanted to achieve.
From start to finish a very professional service was provided by Donal and his team at Kilduff Construction. Everybody involved was easy to deal with, any queries/modifications were solved without issue. We were so pleased with the end result being completed both on time and within budget. We would highly recommend Kilduff Construction for any project.
My building and business is well over 100 years old, I am the 4th Generation, so when the time came for the roof to be replaced I needed a professional team with knowledge, vision and compassion. Donal was incredibly professional from that very first consultation, he was never more than a phone call away.
Kilduff Construction was great to work with right from the very beginning. What differentiated Donal was how personally invested he was in the project. The expertise of Donal and his team was reflected in their attention to detail and quality of finished work. Can’t recommend Kilduff Construction highly enough.
It was a pleasure working with Donal and his team. From the outset Donal was invested in the project, his great ideas, genuine interest and advice resulted in a bespoke creative space for Tommy. Thank you Donal & Team.
