Attic and loft conversions across Dublin, handled by one carpentry-led team from the first drawing to the final finish. Proper stairs, insulation and rooflights, built to full standard.
We take an attic from bare rafters to a finished room, sorting the structure, the stairs, the insulation and the light so the new floor feels like it was always part of the house.

What's included
Every attic is different, so there is no single price for an attic conversion. What it costs comes down to a handful of things, and we walk you through all of them before you commit to anything. Here is what makes the biggest difference.
A straightforward attic room costs less than a dormer conversion, where we build out the roof to add head height and floor space. A dormer is more work, but it turns a cramped loft into a proper room.
Where the new stairs go, and how much of the existing layout has to change to fit them, has a real bearing on the work involved.
A simple bedroom or office is one thing. Adding an ensuite or bathroom means plumbing and waterproofing, which adds to the build.
Some roofs are ready to convert. Others, especially newer truss roofs, need extra structural work to open the space up safely. We check this on the first visit.
We take an extension from the first drawing to the final coat of paint, matching the brick, the roofline and the proportions so the new space never looks bolted on.
We come up, check the head height and the roof structure, and give you a straight, written price.
We agree the layout, the stairs and the rooflights, and handle any paperwork that is needed.
One crew on site, from steels and floor joists through to insulation, plastering and finish.
We finish, clean up and stand over the work once the new room is yours.
A few of the questions homeowners ask us most, answered plainly. If yours isn't here, just pick up the phone.
Most are, but it comes down to head height and the way the roof is built. Older cut roofs are usually straightforward. Newer truss roofs need extra structural work to open the space up safely, which is doable but a bigger job. We check both on the first visit and tell you straight.
It depends on what the conversion involves. Work that stays within the existing roof shape is treated differently to a dormer that changes the roofline. We will tell you where you stand when we see the house, and confirm it with the local authority before anything starts.
Less than most people expect, if it is planned properly. The stairs usually sit above the existing flight, so the space comes off the landing rather than a bedroom. Where the layout is tight we will show you the options before you commit.
Yes, and most of the attic conversions we do now include one. It means bringing plumbing and waterproofing up into the roof, so it adds to the build, but it turns the attic into a proper guest or master room rather than just extra space.
A straightforward conversion is usually a matter of weeks. A dormer, or a truss roof that needs structural work, takes longer. You get a realistic timeline with your quote so you know what to expect before anything starts.
Almost always, yes. Most of the work happens above you, and the messiest stage is cutting in the stairs. We sheet up, keep the dust where it belongs and clean the site down at the end of each day.
