Eilis B. — Carlingford, Co. Louth
County Louth — the Wee County — packs an extraordinary depth of building heritage into Ireland's smallest county. The medieval cores of Drogheda, Dundalk, Carlingford and Ardee, plus the Cooley Peninsula's traditional cottages and the strong commercial fabric of the M1 corridor, give us a varied year-round workload across both residential and commercial categories. Louth's residential stock is unusually layered.

Learn moreDrogheda and Dundalk both have substantial Victorian and Edwardian terraces, plus medieval-fabric properties in the town cores where Deathwatch Beetle in oak elements is regularly found. The Cooley Peninsula and Carlingford have traditional one and one-and-a-half-storey stone cottages with significant coastal damp exposure — Wood Boring Weevil shows up more often here than anywhere else in Leinster. The modern estates around both major towns and along the M1 corridor present the typical Common Furniture Beetle pattern in roof rafters.
Our Louth commercial work covers the heritage pubs and restaurants of Drogheda's West Street and Dundalk's Park Street, boutique hotels (the Westcourt, Crowne Plaza, Carlingford Adventure Centre area properties), the major distilleries (Cooley, Boann), the M1-corridor logistics and industrial estates, the cathedrals (St Patrick's Drogheda, St Patrick's Dundalk), parish properties across every parish, schools, the marinas of Carlingford and Greenore, and a strong rota of country pubs and gastropubs across the Cooley Peninsula. Louth treatment specifications need to account for coastal damp exposure — particularly on the Cooley Peninsula and around Carlingford Lough. Every coastal quote includes a moisture-meter pass and our specifications often combine boron treatment with damp-proofing or ventilation improvements.
For medieval-fabric properties in Drogheda, Dundalk and Carlingford we use conservation-grade methods only. For the M1-corridor modern stock the standard single-day boron protocol applies.
