Residential construction services we offer
01
Home renovations
The older homes in Howth, particularly the Victorian and Edwardian properties on Thormanby Road and the 1930s detached houses near the village, often have outstanding original features worth preserving alongside layouts that need updating. We carry out full house refurbishments including rewiring, replumbing and interior finishing, and we’re experienced in working on homes where the quality of the result genuinely matters.
02
House extensions
Many homes in Howth sit on generous plots with real potential to extend, particularly to the rear where views and garden aspect can be brought into the living space. We manage the full project from planning advice through to the finished interior, working with architects where needed. On a premium property, a poorly designed extension costs more than it adds — we make sure it adds.
03
Garage conversions
A number of homes on the peninsula, particularly bungalows around Windgate Road and Offington, have garages no longer used for cars. Converting that space into a home office, gym or additional reception room adds usable square footage without changing the external footprint. We handle insulation, heating, flooring and all building regulation compliance throughout.
04
Attic conversions
The dormer bungalows common across Howth are often well suited to attic conversion, adding a bedroom or home office above the existing roofline. Older detached homes with traditional cut-timber roofs can also be converted where there’s sufficient headroom. We assess the structure at the quoting stage and give you an honest answer on feasibility before any work starts.
Working in Howth
Howth sits within the Fingal County Council area and parts of the peninsula have specific planning sensitivities worth knowing about before you start. A number of properties on Thormanby Road and Carrickbrack Road are protected structures, which means any works affecting the character of the building, internally or externally, need to be handled carefully and may require a full planning application even for works that would normally be exempted elsewhere. The summit and surrounding hillside also have landscape conservation designations that can affect what’s permissible. We’re familiar with how Fingal approach applications in Howth and can advise you on the planning position before any money is spent on drawings.

Fantastic job assembling the wardrobe - it looks sturdy and perfectly aligned. Attention to details.
Appreciate how efficiently you put everything together. Care to follow each step, and the finished wardrobe looks amazing! Great work! The doors open and close smoothly, and everything feels solid.
VJ, Lana and the team did an amazing job painting our hall and living space. They were meticulous in detail, clean, tidy and a dream to work with. They gave fantastic guidance on what would work well, Lana has a brilliant eye when it comes to interiors. They worked incredibly hard from early in the morning until late in the evening. I cannot fault anything, and cannot recommend them highly enough to anyone needing work done.
Max and VJ did an amazing job in our kitchen. I had a timeline to finish the job within a week and they managed it very well. I will highly recommend them to anyone who is looking to add some color and charm to their rooms.
Alex did a great job installing new cabinets in our dining area. Very good communication, excellent problem solving skills, and showed a lot of care for the job at hand. He was highly professional and pleasant throughout the entire job and showed respect for our home. I highly recommend him.
I couldn't be happier with the fantastic job done by Vasilij, Michael, and Daniel! From start to finish, their professionalism, attention to detail, and craftsmanship were absolutely top-notch.

Frequently asked questions
Still have questions about your building needs? Call 01 270 9764 – we’ll be happy to help!
Do you cover Howth and the surrounding area?
Yes. We work throughout Howth and the wider Dublin 13 area including Sutton, Baldoyle and the Baily.
Do I need planning permission for an extension in Howth?
Howth falls under Fingal County Council and the rules for exempted development broadly follow national guidelines, meaning a single-storey rear extension within certain size limits often doesn't require a full planning application. However, Howth has a higher than average number of protected structures, particularly on Thormanby Road, Carrickbrack Road and around the village, and the hillside has specific landscape conservation designations. If your home falls into any of these categories, different rules apply. We'll check the position for your property at the quoting stage so you know exactly where you stand.
Can you renovate or extend a Victorian or Edwardian property in Howth?
Yes, and it's work we genuinely enjoy. The large Victorian and Edwardian homes on roads like Thormanby Road are architecturally significant and have details worth preserving, high ceilings, original fireplaces, period joinery. When we work on these properties we take care to match original materials and retain character features wherever possible. If the property is a protected structure, we'll make sure any works are handled in a way that satisfies Fingal's conservation requirements. Getting this right from the start saves considerable time and money later.
What's the best way to add space to a 1930s detached home in Howth?
The 1930s detached homes near Howth village typically sit on large plots with good scope to extend to the rear or side. A rear extension is usually the most popular option, opening up the kitchen and creating a generous kitchen-dining-living space that connects to the garden. These houses often have solid construction and good ceiling heights, which means the new work can be designed to feel seamless rather than like an addition. A home office or extra bedroom via an attic conversion is also a common project in this type of house.
