Dublin 4 · The area

Why house extensions and attic conversions in Dublin 4 are a familiar brief.

Dublin 4 extension work runs at the highest spec spectrum. The Victorian and Edwardian period stock in Donnybrook, Sandymount and Ailesbury has constrained extension scope shaped by the heaviest ACA and protected-structure context in Dublin. Rear extensions are detailed in careful conversation with the conservation officer, typically held under the 40 sqm threshold, and articulated against the original period rear elevation. The larger Ailesbury and Shrewsbury homes support more ambitious briefs where planning supports: side returns combining with the rear into wraparound extensions, double-storey rear extensions on the larger plots where streetscape allows, often with glass roofs and high-spec glazing systems. Original 9-inch solid brick rear walls need engineer-signed structural opening for any wide steel. Attic conversions feature on the larger period stock where roof pitches support, usually with a rear-dormer scheme. Modern apartments and townhouses near the docklands rarely come up for extension work.

House Extensions, Attic & Garage Conversions · How we run it

House Extensions, Attic & Garage Conversions in Dublin 4, the way it should be done.

Extensions are where most clients first speak to us. The reasons vary — a growing family, an attic that has become storage by default rather than design, a 1970s side return that is too cold to use — but the question is always the same: how do we add space to a house that is otherwise lovely, and have it feel like it was always there?

Every house extensions and attic conversions project in Dublin 4 is run personally by Marcin's in-house team — site visits within the working week on the Dublin side of the city, and same-day answers on WhatsApp. For the full detail on how we approach house extensions and attic conversions — process, specification and certification — see the extensions service page.

Extensions in Dublin 4

Common questions about house extensions and attic conversions in Dublin 4.

Yes. Dublin 4 is a regular service area for us. Renovations, extensions and bespoke joinery across Dublin 4. From the Victorian and Edwardian red-brick terraces of Donnybrook and Sandymount through the period semis of Ballsbridge and Ailesbury, we cover the full D4 corridor. If your project sits in this area we will arrange a site visit, give you an honest indication of scope and timeline at the first meeting, and follow up with a written fixed-price quotation.

Most rear extensions under 40 sqm fall under planning exemption, subject to conditions on height, height to eaves, and proximity to boundaries. We will tell you at first site visit whether your project is exempt or needs planning, and we coordinate the application if it does.

Most Dublin three-bed semi attic conversions run 8 to 12 weeks from the day the scaffold goes up. Adding an ensuite extends it slightly. We give a written schedule and update it weekly.
