Local builders you can actually trust
Malahide is one of the more varied places to work as a builder. You’ve got the older detached and semi-detached homes close to the village and the castle grounds, built anywhere from the 1920s to the 1960s, sitting alongside the larger 1980s and 90s estates that stretch out towards the estuary and beyond.
Then there are the more recent high-spec builds and renovated period properties on roads like Yellow Walls Road and Sea Road, where the standard of finish expected is higher and the detail work matters more.
We’re based in Stillorgan and cover Malahide and the surrounding north Dublin area regularly.

PROJECTS
Residential construction services we offer
01
Home renovations
A lot of the homes near Malahide village were built to last but haven’t been touched inside in decades. We carry out full house refurbishments including rewiring, replumbing and complete interior finishing, and we’re used to working on homes where the owners want a high standard of finish. Whether you’re updating a 1930s detached or taking a 1980s semi back to the walls, we manage the full project from start to finish.
02
House extensions
rom the family semis in Seabury and Chalfont to the larger detached homes near the village, a well-planned extension can make a significant difference to how a home works day to day. We manage everything from planning advice through to the finished interior, and we pay close attention to materials and detailing so the new work sits well with the existing house rather than looking like an afterthought.
03
Garage conversions
Many of the 1980s and 90s homes in Malahide’s larger estates have integral garages that are used for storage rather than cars. Converting that space into a bedroom, home office or utility room is one of the more cost-effective ways to add a usable room. We handle insulation, heating, flooring and full building regulations compliance throughout, and the work typically causes minimal disruption to the rest of the house.
04
Attic conversions
For homes in estates like Gainsborough, Seabury and Robswall where the footprint is fixed but the family has grown, an attic conversion is often the most practical way to add a bedroom or home office. We assess the roof structure and headroom at the quoting stage and give you an honest answer on whether conversion is feasible before any work begins.
Working in Malahide
Malahide sits within the Fingal County Council area, which has its own planning guidelines separate from Dublin City Council. Fingal tends to be fairly straightforward for standard rear extensions under exempted development, but if your home is close to the castle demesne, near the estuary, or on a road with mature trees and a particular character, there can be additional considerations worth knowing about before you start. We’re familiar with how Fingal handle planning applications and can talk you through what’s likely to apply to your property before any money is spent on architects or 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.
They expertly plastered and painted the walls with a flawless finish that completely refreshed the space. Every corner and surface was treated with care and precision.

Frequently asked questions
Still have questions about your building needs? Call 01 270 9764 – we’ll be happy to help!
Do you cover Malahide and the surrounding areas?
Yes. We work throughout Malahide and the wider north Dublin area, including Kinsealy, Portmarnock, Swords and Donabate. We're based in Dún Laoghaire but travel north regularly and have worked on a number of projects in Malahide and the surrounding villages over the years.
Do I need planning permission for an extension in Malahide?
Malahide falls under Fingal County Council rather than Dublin City Council, and the rules for exempted development are broadly similar. A single-storey rear extension within certain size limits usually doesn't require a full planning application. That said, if your home is close to the castle demesne, on a protected structure list, or in an area with specific landscape or heritage designations, different considerations can apply. We'll go through the planning position with you at the quoting stage so you know exactly where you stand.
Can you extend or renovate an older detached home near Malahide village?
Yes, and it's work we do regularly. The older homes on roads like Yellow Walls Road, Sea Road and around the castle area are well built but often have layouts that don't suit how families live now. A rear extension or full internal reconfiguration can transform how the house works without changing its character from the outside. We take care with materials and detailing on these projects because the finish expected, and the value of getting it right, tends to be higher.
What's the most popular renovation for homes in Malahide's larger estates?
For the 1980s and 90s semis and detached homes in estates like Seabury, Gainsborough and Chalfont, the most common project we see is a rear extension to open up the kitchen and create a proper kitchen-dining-living space. It's the single change that makes the biggest difference to daily life in these houses. Attic conversions to add a fourth bedroom or home office are also very popular, particularly for families who don't want to move but have outgrown the space they have.
How long does an extension or renovation take in Malahide?
A single-storey rear extension typically takes 8 to 12 weeks from start to finish. A double-storey extension is generally 12 to 16 weeks. A full home renovation varies depending on scope but most projects run between 10 and 20 weeks. We give you a clear timeline before work starts and stick to it as closely as possible, with daily photo updates throughout so you always know what's happening on site.
