Ranelagh · The area
Why house extensions and attic conversions in Ranelagh are a familiar brief.
Ranelagh's Victorian and Edwardian red-brick terraces sit on long thin rear gardens with classic period frontages, and the extension scope here is constrained by heavy planning context (ACAs throughout, individually protected structures common) and the public visibility of any addition. The classic Ranelagh extension brief is a single-storey rear extension to the kitchen, kept under the 40 sqm threshold, detailed so it reads as a deliberate modern intervention rather than a clumsy add-on. Original 9-inch solid brick rear walls need engineer-signed structural opening for a wide steel, and side-return potential is limited by plot widths. Attic conversions feature regularly on the Ranelagh terraces where roof pitches support a rear-dormer scheme that doesn't compromise the front elevation. Planning conversations with the conservation officer are part of nearly every Ranelagh extension project.
House Extensions, Attic & Garage Conversions · How we run it
House Extensions, Attic & Garage Conversions in Ranelagh, 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?
We run extensions end to end. Where you have an architect, we build to their drawings and become the single point of accountability through planning, structural design and construction. Where you do not, we coordinate the architect and engineer ourselves and quote the build to a clear specification before work starts.
Attic conversions are one of our most common projects — adding a bedroom with ensuite to an Irish three-bed semi is one of the highest-value moves a client can make, and it is squarely within our scope. Garage conversions follow the same pattern: insulation, blockwork, plastering, electrics, plumbing and joinery, all run by one team.
The work in Ranelagh runs to the same specification we apply everywhere across Dublin and Leinster. Materials, sub-trade coordination, planning context and final certification are all managed from one studio. If your project is on the dublin side of the city, expect site visits within the working week and same-day responses on WhatsApp.

Yes. Ranelagh is a regular service area for us. Renovations, extensions and period restoration in Ranelagh. The Victorian and Edwardian red-brick terraces that define the area need craft-led renovation — cornice-matching, careful joinery, and rear extensions that respect the original frontage. 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. We routinely build to architects’ and engineers’ drawings as the main contractor. You get one point of accountability on site.
