Welcome To Premier Attics
With property prices still deflated in many parts of Ireland the number of people staying put and converting and extending their attic space into an extra room is on the increase as homeowners seek to find alternative solutions to acquire that extra space that their growing family or personal needs require.

Requiring 20% deposit and lending to only 3.5 times earnings the new Central Bank rules will see more families looking at their existing properties and examining how they can make it more suitable to their needs.
Converting your attic is an excellent solution to add more space and a great investment in your home.
And it’s estimated that it can add at least 10% to a property’s value, even when prices are unstable.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why is it important to choose a dedicated attic contractor?
At Premier Attics we work with professionals who are dedicated to attic projects. As specialist contractors we are experienced at working within homes already occupied by families and homeowners. We respect your space and we respect your home.
Our network of contractors have specialist methods and quality control standards in place to ensure the absolute minimum disruption to your home and family life. A specialist contractor will also have in depth knowledge of planning requirements and building regulations specific to your home and your conversion.
2. Do I need to get planning permission for my conversion?
Please book your FREE onsite consultation for more advice on this matter.
3. Are there any other special building regulations or fire regulations which I need to consider?
If you proceed with your conversion without heeding the proper regulations you can end up with just an expensive storage space rather than an extra bedroom. There are five main points you need to be aware of.
Structural Stability – are the ceiling joists and load bearing walls and even foundations up to the job?
Fire Resistance – stairs need to be enclosed with a fire resistant door
Access and Means of Escape – via stairs and VELUX® escape/access skylights
Weather Resistance and Energy Conservation – The walls and roof must keep out the elements and retain heat, via insulation
Ventilation – providing clean air to the living environment and venting moist or stale air, which would cause condensation and can lead to all kinds of structural problems over time
If your newly converted attic doesn’t meet these building regulation criteria, then you can’t market it as an extra bedroom (only storage) and you won’t get the price you wanted for the property.
4. How long does it take to complete?
Typically up to 2 weeks for a standard conversion.
5. How much will it all cost?
Converting your attic could cost as little as €8,000 and up to €40k for a larger, more complex projects. Contact Us today for a quote or to arrange a Free onsite consultation.
6. How much value will an it add to my home?
Between 10% and 30% depending on the original value of your home and the quality and size of the conversion.
