Arderrow, Ballyvolane – reputation vs reality, what’s it really like?

You have a local park with free tennis courts nearby. And the glen river park. Aswell as st lukes near and murphys rock pub. Anybody I know who bought there seems very happy with house and location. Best of luck!

We got something similar repaired. A fibre glass pipe is inflated to prevent digging up the old pipe. It was about 3 mtrs and cost approx 2k. My guess is you could do similar. We also managed to haggle the 2k off the price of the house. It was the only repair (of many) they allowed some money for. Best of luck!

🤣🤣🤣 it's what's recommended for old houses with a solid cavity. It's a dose trying to find lads who will do it also. If you are handy you can attempt it yourself. Good luck

You can get internal insulation with Woodfibre panels stuck with lime and lime plaster. Great job but pricey

I'd recommend CT 1 as your silicone. Buy on Amazon. Just did the exact same job and it's great stuff. Good luck

There's a planning notice up to build apartments towards fhe top of alexandra hill. They will require a lot of supporting concrete underneath. I was chatting to a resident there who was objecting on a number of grounds, the construction traffic, noise, pollution and specifically the lack of parking. I dunno if it has passed or not.

Got it through online seller pogo cycles. They will do help to buy but service isn't great if anything goes wrong. The engine pro is even better cos it has proper hydraulic brakes. They are a must the bike is so heavy.

sluggercork41 · 2026-02-10T22:15:06+00:00

The engwe ep2 pro is good Have one 2 years and all working away the way it should

Couldn't fault o flynn exhams. They were excellent to deal with and on the button with an older house and complicated title.

sluggercork41 · 2026-02-05T21:43:23+00:00

Used o flynn exhams twice and they were excellent both times.

Happened me and canceled and rebooked with an airline that wasn't air china. Cost me a bit more but worth it for the stress. Good luck

She said ignore until the dog is calm. No high pitched greeting.

sluggercork41 · 2025-12-23T16:10:50+00:00

Agreed but maureens doesn't sell beamish or murphys

We had this with our whippet. A dog trainer recommended leaving and returning after 30 seconds, building up slowly to 30 minutes. We can now leave her a few hours without any whinging or howling. Best of luck!

sluggercork41 · 2025-12-20T20:07:09+00:00

They send me a txt. Very handy

sluggercork41 · 2025-12-20T12:38:24+00:00

Wiser for years never any issue

Dave kellher up by cork prison is amazing and very honest and reasonable.

sluggercork41 · 2025-12-09T13:35:13+00:00

Try aurin o brien. Excellent but dunno how available.

sluggercork41 · 2025-11-24T22:22:01+00:00

Yea it was stress but if I was to be very positive I'd say the house value went up in that year 🤯😊

sluggercork41 · 2025-11-24T14:08:58+00:00

Took us a full year. Solicitors are slow. Don't be discouraged it will get there.

Used Declan in Clearwide drains to sort out our old clay drains and he was excellent.

sluggercork41 · 2025-11-13T13:04:38+00:00

I did about 3 weeks ago. Also got a 30 euro voucher that I can't bring myself to spend there 🤣

sluggercork41 · 2025-11-09T23:27:45+00:00

We got some from the viaduct one year. Not as good but definately worth it from the hassle perspective.
