A full home renovation reworks the whole property, from layout changes and structural work to finishes and fit-out. We manage the design stage, the trades and the programme, so an older or tired house becomes a comfortable modern home without you having to coordinate it yourself.
The kitchen is usually the hardest-working room in the house. We handle new units, worktops, appliances, lighting, flooring and any plumbing or electrical changes, designed around how your household actually uses the space day to day.
We renovate family bathrooms and en-suites, covering tiling, sanitaryware, plumbing and layout changes. Whether it is a straightforward refresh or a full reconfiguration into a wet room, the work is finished to a standard that lasts.
An attic or loft conversion adds a room without changing the footprint of your house. We deal with access, insulation, structural reinforcement and finishes, turning unused roof space into a bedroom, home office or living area.
When you need more space rather than a different layout, an extension is often the answer. We handle single and two-storey extensions from planning permission through to the finished build, joining old and new so the result feels like one house.
Renovation is the right time to improve how your home performs. We carry out insulation upgrades, window replacement and heating improvements that lift your BER rating and lower running costs, and we can point you towards the SEAI grants you may qualify for.
Here is how we take a renovation from first idea to finished home.
We start with a site visit to understand your goals, your budget and how you want the house to work. You get honest guidance on what is realistic before any commitment.
Our team draws up a detailed plan, agrees on the scope and confirms whether planning permission is needed. Most internal renovations are exempted development, but we check this properly rather than assume it.
Our trades carry out the work to the agreed programme. You have one point of contact throughout, so you always know what is happening and what comes next.
We snag the work, complete a full inspection and hand over a finished home. The job is done when it meets the standard we agreed on, not before.
| Renovation Type | Typical Cost Range | What Moves The Price |
|---|---|---|
| Kitchen Renovation | €10,000 – €30,000 | Units, appliances, and layout changes |
| Bathroom Renovation | €5,000 – €15,000 | Sanitaryware, tiling, plumbing changes |
| Attic / Loft Conversion | €20,000 – €60,000 | Access, structural work, and whether a bathroom is added |
| Full House Renovation | €30,000 – €100,000+ | Property size, structural scope, finish level |
| Full Renovation (per m²) | €1,500 – €2,500 standard, €2,500 – €4,000+ high-spec | Condition of the property, specification |
| Single-Storey Extension | €1,200 – €2,000 per m² | Foundations, glazing, finish |
A quick way to estimate a full renovation is floor area multiplied by your chosen rate per square metre, then add a contingency. Renovation and repair work in Ireland is charged at the reduced VAT rate of 13.5%, which should be included when you compare quotes.

A buffer for surprises, which older Dublin houses are prone to hiding behind walls and floors.
If your renovation includes energy upgrades, there is funding worth knowing about. The SEAI offers home energy grants towards insulation, heat pumps and other efficiency improvements. The Home Renovation Incentive allows tax relief on qualifying renovation work. Eligibility depends on the property and the work involved, so it is worth checking what applies to your project before you finalise a budget.
A well-planned renovation does more than refresh how your home looks. It can increase the value of the property, which matters whether you plan to sell or simply want the work to pay back over time.
Energy-efficient improvements such as insulation and new windows lower your heating bills and improve your BER rating, making the house cheaper and more comfortable to live in.
Most of all, a renovation lets you reshape a house around how you actually live, better light, a more usable layout, and rooms that suit your family now rather than when the house was built.
Clarcon has worked on building and renovation projects across Dublin for over 17 years. That experience means we can spot the issues older properties tend to throw up and plan for them, rather than discover them halfway through.
We are clear about cost from the start. You get a detailed quote and honest guidance before any work begins, so there are no uncomfortable conversations later.
And we keep the job moving. One point of contact, an agreed programme, and a team that turns up and finishes what it starts.
A full house renovation in Dublin typically ranges from €30,000 to €100,000 or more. The final figure depends on the size of the property, how much structural work is involved and the finish you choose. We provide a detailed breakdown after a site visit.
The biggest factors are the size of the property, the condition it is in, the scope of work and the materials you select. Older houses can carry hidden costs behind walls and floors, which is why a contingency of 10 to 20% is sensible.
A single-room renovation, such as a kitchen or bathroom, often takes a few weeks. A full house renovation usually runs over several months, depending on the scale of the work. We give you a programme before the job starts.
We give a detailed quote based on an agreed scope of work. The price only changes if the scope changes or if structural surprises appear once work begins, and we always discuss those with you before proceeding.
Yes. Not every renovation is a full property transformation. We carry out single-room and partial renovations, and we will give you honest advice on where a smaller budget is best spent.
Yes. We coordinate every trade involved, so you have one point of contact rather than chasing separate contractors. This keeps the project on programme and the responsibility in one place.
Most internal renovations are classed as exempted development and do not need planning permission. You usually need it if you are changing the external appearance of the property or altering a protected structure. We confirm what applies to your project during the design stage.
The SEAI offers home energy grants towards insulation, heat pumps and other energy upgrades. The Home Renovation Incentive provides tax relief on qualifying renovation work. Eligibility depends on the property and the works, so it is worth checking before you set your final budget.
Qualifying renovation work can be eligible for tax relief through the Home Renovation Incentive scheme. The work needs to meet the scheme’s conditions, so check your eligibility before the project begins.
If your layout works but the house feels tired, a renovation is usually the better value. If you genuinely need more space, an extension makes more sense. We can look at both with you and give an honest recommendation.
A kitchen renovation in Dublin typically ranges from €10,000 to €30,000, and a bathroom from €5,000 to €15,000. Layout changes, plumbing work and the finish you choose move the figure within those ranges.
Yes. Dublin has a large stock of older and period homes, and we have worked on many of them. These properties need more careful planning, but they also reward it with character that newer houses do not have.
