Home Renovations & Extensions

Sometimes the right move isn't building new. It's making the home you already have work the way you need it to. Eamonn Tyrrell Builders takes tired, dated and cramped properties and brings them back to life, from single-room refurbishments to full top-to-bottom renovations and extensions.

We've spent 25+ years renovating homes across the Midlands and Dublin commuter belt, and we know how to do it with the least possible disruption to the people still living there.

What's included

Old houses, done right

Renovating an older property throws up surprises: damp, dodgy wiring, walls that aren't where the drawings say they are. Our experience means we spot those problems early and deal with them properly rather than papering over them.

Where you're opening up rooms or removing walls, we handle the structural side correctly, with the right steel and the right sign-off, so the finished space is safe as well as beautiful.

Living on site during the works

Most of our renovation clients stay in the house while we work. We plan the job in stages, seal off dust, protect what we're not touching and keep the site clean at the end of every day. You always know which rooms are usable and when services will be off.

Clear communication is the difference between a stressful renovation and a smooth one, so we keep you in the loop at every step.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need planning permission for an extension?

Smaller rear extensions often fall under exempted development, but it depends on size and your property. We'll tell you honestly whether you're likely to need permission and can work alongside your architect on the application.

Can you renovate one room at a time?

Absolutely. Plenty of clients phase the work to spread the cost or to keep more of the house usable. We'll help you sequence it sensibly.

Do you handle energy upgrades?

Yes. Insulation, airtightness, new windows and improved heating can all be rolled into a renovation, which is usually the most cost-effective time to do them.
