How urgent is it? Allow time for planning.

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 the fix involves and what it costs

Build the gable wall up, extend the roof, then complete the conversion, often with a rear dormer.

Typical Dublin price: €50,000–€80,000. The final price depends on:

  • Habitable room versus storage standard
  • Dormers and structural steel
  • Stairs and fire safety upgrades
  • Ensuite plumbing

Prices are indicative guide ranges for Dublin and include VAT. See the full Attic Conversion cost guide.
