Renovations and bespoke joinery in Clontarf.

The area

What we know about renovating in Clontarf.

Clontarf is one of the most architecturally consistent postcodes on the northside — Edwardian red-bricks along the seafront, Tudor-revival semis with mock-Tudor gables along Castle Avenue and Vernon Avenue, and the well-laid-out Marino estate inland. The renovation language for each is different, and we adapt accordingly.

On the seafront Edwardians, careful internal renovation matters as much as the build — we patch period cornicing, match skirting and architrave profiles, and pay attention to how light moves through long terraced rooms. The Tudor semis often want full ground-floor opening up and rear or wraparound extensions. The Marino terraces (one of the earliest planned social housing schemes in Europe) carry their own conservation considerations.

The coastal location also means we factor weather into outdoor and external-insulation projects — EWI on a Clontarf seafront facade has different exposure than the same job in Sandyford.
