It's unusual to see a building project tick the boxes for the homeowners, their children and their parents  — as well as please the builder, architect and quantity surveyor. 

But that seems to have been the miracle that's occurred in Blessington, Co Wicklow, as Hilary and Paul Fairbrother move back into Hilary’s home following Dermot Bannon and his team’s complete energy upgrade and renovation of the property on this week's Room to Improve.
