Know What You’re Paying For—And Why It Matters
So, you’re thinking about converting your attic. Great move. It’s one of the smartest ways to gain extra space and value in your home.
But if you’ve started looking into pricing, you’ve probably seen numbers all over the place—€15,000, €40,000, €70,000? What’s the deal?
Here’s the honest, no-fluff breakdown of attic renovation pricing in Ireland—and what you can expect from a turnkey, all-inclusive renovation with The Irish Attic Company (TIAC).
First Things First: What’s Included in a Proper Quote?
Let’s start with the essentials. A transparent attic renovation quote should include:

- Planning checks (and permissions if needed)
✅ Structural Works:
- Floor strengthening and support beams
- Roof modifications (if needed)
- Staircase installation
✅ Insulation & Energy Efficiency:
- Floor, wall, and roof insulation
- Ventilation and airtightness upgrades
✅ Windows & Lighting:
- Velux or dormer windows
- Wiring and lighting installation
✅ Interior Fit-Out:
- Drywall, plastering, and flooring
- Painting and finishes
- Bespoke storage units (optional)
✅ Extras (Optional but Popular):
- Ensuite bathroom
- Solar panel integration
- Custom cabinetry and shelving
“TIAC gave us a quote that covered everything. We didn’t have to chase extra trades or manage hidden costs.” – Orla, Galway
How Much Does an Attic Renovation Actually Cost in 2025?
Factors That Affect Pricing:
- Size and structure of your attic
- Type of roof (pitched, flat, dormer potential)
- Access needs (e.g. installing stairs)
- Electrical and plumbing work
‘ - Finish level and design complexity
Fixed vs. Variable Quotes: Why It Matters
Be wary of vague estimates like:
“Starts at €20k, depends on what you want.”
That kind of quote usually leads to:
- Mid-build surprises
- Budget blowouts
- Delayed timelines
With TIAC, every quote is:
- Fixed (no hidden extras)
- Itemised (so you know exactly what you’re paying for)
- Transparent (we don’t do “gotchas”)
“We were nervous about pricing until we saw how clear the quote was. No surprises, no stress.” – Declan & Maeve, Wicklow
Want to Cut Costs? Do It Smartly
We get it—budgets matter. Here are ways to save without cutting corners:
Smart Savings:
- Keep plumbing close to existing supply lines
- Choose open-plan layouts
- Opt for multi-use spaces (e.g. guest room + office)
- Start with core build and add features later via loyalty perks
Avoid cutting:
- Insulation (false savings—you’ll lose it in heating bills)
- Windows (natural light makes the space)
- Fire safety elements (never optional)
