What to check before you hire a attic conversion company
- Ask whether the conversion will meet Building Regulations for a habitable room, or be classed as storage
- Ask who handles planning permission if a dormer is involved
- Check that an engineer designs any structural changes
- Ask for a certificate of compliance with the Building Regulations at the end
- Get a fixed price that clearly states what is included (stairs, electrics, plumbing, finishes)
What affects the price in Donaghmede
Donaghmede is largely 1970s and 1980s estate housing, with semi-detached and terraced homes. Donaghmede is in Dublin 13 and falls under Dublin City Council.
1970s–1990s estate homes often have trussed roofs, which need an engineer to redesign the structure before conversion. Period homes often have low-pitched or complex roofs and may be in conservation areas, which limits dormer options and makes careful design and planning essential. Exposed coastal homes need dormers and rooflights detailed for wind-driven rain.
- Habitable room versus storage standard
- Dormers and structural steel
- Stairs and fire safety upgrades
- Ensuite plumbing
- Planning, engineer and certification fees

How much does attic conversion cost in Donaghmede?
It depends on the job. Typical prices range from €30,000–€55,000 for smaller jobs up to €50,000–€90,000 for larger projects.
Why might a quote in Donaghmede be higher or lower?
1970s–1990s estate homes often have trussed roofs, which need an engineer to redesign the structure before conversion. Period homes often have low-pitched or complex roofs and may be in conservation areas, which limits dormer options and makes careful design and planning essential. Exposed coastal homes need dormers and rooflights detailed for wind-driven rain.
Do these prices include VAT?
Yes. Always check whether a written quote is inclusive or exclusive of VAT.
Do I need planning permission for an attic conversion?
A conversion with rear rooflights is often exempt, but dormers generally need planning permission. Check with your council, especially in conservation areas.
Can my attic be used as a bedroom?
Only if it meets the Building Regulations for habitable rooms, including fire safety, stairs, headroom and ventilation. Otherwise it is classed as storage.
How long does an attic conversion take?
Typically four to eight weeks, depending on size and whether dormers are involved.
