Homes in Swords and what that means for attic conversion
Swords is one of Dublin's largest towns, with a historic main street and extensive 1970s–2010s housing estates and apartments. Swords is in Co. Dublin and falls under Fingal County Council.
Newer homes can have lower roof pitches and trussed roofs, so headroom and structure need to be checked early. 1970s–1990s estate homes often have trussed roofs, which need an engineer to redesign the structure before conversion. Exposed coastal homes need dormers and rooflights detailed for wind-driven rain.
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 you cover Swords and nearby areas?
Yes. We cover Swords, Skerries, Rush and Lusk and the rest of North County Dublin.
What attic conversion problems are common in Swords?
Newer homes can have lower roof pitches and trussed roofs, so headroom and structure need to be checked early. 1970s–1990s estate homes often have trussed roofs, which need an engineer to redesign the structure before conversion. Exposed coastal homes need dormers and rooflights detailed for wind-driven rain.
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.
