PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Metro Group transformed a 250-year-old derelict former public house in Tipperary, into a modern A2 rated dwelling, achieving the highest standards in energy efficiency and design. This complete refurbishment and extension project showcases our commitment to preserving structures while upgrading them to meet contemporary living standards.

The project included significant energy upgrade measures, resulting in a BER uplift from E to A2. Key upgrades involved floor and wall insulation, double-glazed windows and doors, a Mitsubishi Ecodan heat pump, underfloor heating, and attic insulation. We also ensured air tightness of 5 or better and installed DCV systems. The renovation included a 40sqm extension with traditional cavity wall construction, a complete refurbishment of the existing structure, new concrete ground floor, revised internal walls, structural steel and timber work, new mechanical and electrical systems, and all finishing touches such as stairs, kitchen, painting, and tiling.
