FAQs
Do I Need Planning Permission for an Attic Conversion in Ireland?
Most attic conversions don’t require planning permission as they usually fall under exempt development and aren’t classified as habitable accommodation due to height restrictions.
However, planning permission is needed if you're adding a dormer window, installing Velux windows at the front, or making structural changes beyond permitted development. We’ll guide you through the process to ensure your attic conversion meets all Irish building regulations.
Should I Hire an Architect for My Attic Conversion Plans?
Hiring an architect is optional, but having detailed plans can be beneficial. Our team can collaborate with your architect or guide you through the planning phase if you haven’t hired one, ensuring your conversion meets both aesthetic and structural needs.
Will the New Stairs Match My Existing Staircase?
We prioritise aesthetic consistency, ensuring your new attic stairs seamlessly integrate with your existing staircase.
Our skilled carpenters in Dublin carefully match materials, finishes, and style for a cohesive look.
How Long Does an Attic Conversion Take to Complete?
A standard attic conversion typically takes two weeks. If you’re adding an en-suite, dormer, or complex storage solutions, the timeframe may extend slightly. We focus on efficient, high-quality work to minimise disruption to your home.
How Are the Water Tank and Electrical Installations Handled During an Attic Conversion?
We manage all necessary modifications, including relocating water tanks to the eaves and ensuring all electrical installations meet safety regulations. Our expert team ensures your attic conversion is functional, safe, and up to standard.
Does an Attic Conversion Make the House Colder?
Nope—when done correctly, an attic conversion can improve insulation and energy efficiency. We use high-quality insulation and proper ventilation to keep your home warm in winter and cool in Irelands random summer heatwaves.
A well-insulated attic prevents heat loss, making your home more energy-efficient and comfortable year-round.
Can I Get a Bathroom in My Attic Conversion?
Yes, adding a bathroom or en-suite to your attic conversion is absolutely possible. We carefully plan plumbing and drainage to ensure efficient water flow and work with low-profile waste systems where needed. Whether it’s a full bathroom, en-suite, or a compact WC, we’ll find the best solution for your space.
Do I Need to Inform My Lender for an Attic Conversion?
If you have a mortgage, it’s advisable to inform your lender before converting your attic.
Some mortgage agreements require lender approval for structural changes, especially if they affect the value or insurability of the home.
Do You Need Planning Permission for a Dormer Window Attic Conversion?
Yes, a dormer window that changes the external appearance of your home requires planning permission.
However, smaller dormers that don’t face the public road may be exempt. We guide you through the process to ensure compliance with local planning laws.
