Why house extensions and attic conversions in Maynooth are a familiar brief.
Maynooth attic conversions, also called loft conversions, are one of our most common briefs in the town, and the university footprint drives a lot of them: an attic conversion adding a double bedroom with a small ensuite works equally well for a growing family or for quality accommodation a short walk from Maynooth University and the train into the city. The 1980s and 1990s estate stock through Rail Park, Greenfield, Newtown and Parklands was built with trussed roofs that need the structure reworked with the engineer to free up the floor, after which a rear dormer or rooflights win the standing room and head height the regulations require. We build these to full habitable-room standard, properly insulated, fire-detailed and reached by a compliant stair, not a boarded storage loft. The older village terraces and pre-war semis around the centre need a more careful planning conversation given the Maynooth village conservation context, with any rear extension detailed against the original frontage and typically held under the 40 sqm exemption. The Carton, Moyglare and university-edge developments carry cut or higher roofs with more usable volume and cavity-wall construction that opens up cleanly for a rear extension or wraparound. Garage conversions and double-storey extensions feature on the larger plots. The M4 corridor keeps material runs and engineer site visits from our Dublin base straightforward.
House Extensions, Attic & Garage Conversions · How we run it
House Extensions, Attic & Garage Conversions in Maynooth, 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 Maynooth is run personally by Marcin's in-house team — site visits within the working week on the Kildare 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.

Common questions about house extensions and attic conversions in Maynooth.
Yes. Maynooth is a regular service area for us. Renovations, extensions and bespoke joinery in Maynooth. From the older terraces and pre-war semis near the village through to the newer developments around the university, we take projects in this north-Kildare 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.
Yes. Loft conversion and attic conversion describe the same work, turning unused roof space into a heated, habitable room, and it is one of our most common Maynooth briefs. On the 1980s and 1990s estate stock through Rail Park, Greenfield and Newtown the trussed roofs usually need the structure reworked to free up the floor, which we handle with the engineer as part of the job. The older Carton-side and Moyglare detached homes often have cut roofs with more usable volume from the start.
It is a frequent brief here given the university. An attic conversion can add a double bedroom, often with a small ensuite, that works equally well for a growing family or for a quality room close to Maynooth University and the train into the city. We build it to full habitable-room standard with proper insulation, fire detailing and a compliant stair, not a boarded storage attic, so it counts as real accommodation rather than a non-habitable space.
