Cottage restoration

Stone cottages need different methods from modern houses. We work in the right order with the right materials, so the building stays dry, warm and breathable for decades.

  • Lime mortar repointing and breathable renders
  • Natural slate roofs, chimneys and lead work
  • Insulation and damp work suited to solid stone walls
  • Works planned around the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant

How much does a home renovation cost in Ireland?

It depends on size, condition and finish. We give a detailed written quote after an on-site assessment, with no obligation.

Some smaller extensions are exempt, but larger projects usually need planning permission. We can guide you through local rules and liaise with your county council.

What is the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant?

A government grant that supports renovating vacant and derelict homes. We help homeowners plan and complete eligible works, with paperwork support where needed. Check your eligibility.
