How attic conversion jobs should be done
An attic conversion is one of the biggest ways to add space without moving, but it is building work, not just carpentry. For an attic to be used as a habitable room, it must meet the Building Regulations for fire safety, stairs, headroom, ventilation and insulation. Many conversions in Ireland are built as 'storage' because they don't meet those standards, which matters when you sell. Dormers generally need planning permission; rear rooflights often don't. Check with your council.
What usually affects the price:
- Habitable room versus storage standard
- Dormers and structural steel
- Stairs and fire safety upgrades
- Ensuite plumbing
- Planning, engineer and certification fees
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)

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
Does an attic conversion add value?
A compliant conversion usually adds value. A non-compliant 'storage' conversion adds less and can raise questions during a sale.
How much does a attic conversion company cost in Dublin?
It depends on the job. Our attic conversion cost guide lists typical Dublin prices for each service, from €30,000–€55,000 for attic bedroom conversion upwards.
