Renovations and bespoke joinery in Dún Laoghaire.

The area

What we know about renovating in Dún Laoghaire.

Dún Laoghaire is a town with a long architectural memory. The terraces and semis between the seafront and the inland streets are largely Victorian and Edwardian, with the detailing that comes with that era — cornicing, picture rails, ceiling roses, deep skirting. Renovating these homes is an exercise in preservation as much as construction; we patch to match, replicate profiles when sections need replacing, and lay floors and joinery that respect the original room proportions.

Closer to Sandycove and Glasthule the housing tightens into period terraces with smaller footprints, where opening up the ground floor and adding modest rear extensions are common projects. We have completed renovations across this corridor and know the local planning context.

The coastal exposure shapes the work — sash window detailing, external paint specification, and EWI consideration on rear elevations all factor into the spec on Dún Laoghaire jobs.
