Homes in South Dublin City and what that means for carpentry work
Some of Dublin's densest period housing: Victorian and Edwardian red-brick in Ranelagh, Rathgar, Harold's Cross, Sandymount and Donnybrook, larger period homes in Ballsbridge, and 1930s–1960s suburbs in Churchtown and Dundrum. Many streets are conservation areas and some homes are protected structures.
Period homes often have original doors, panelling, sash windows and staircases worth repairing, and matching mouldings may need to be made to order.
What to check before you hire a carpenter
- Ask to see photos of similar finished work
- Confirm who supplies materials and at what cost
- Check whether painting or finishing is included
- For structural timber, ask whether an engineer is needed
- Agree lead times for made-to-measure items
