Structural Attic Conversions in Dublin & Meath.

Unlock the hidden potential of your home. A properly engineered attic conversion adds a certified bedroom, home office, or playroom without touching your garden. Beaufort handles structural reinforcement, insulation, dormer construction, and all finishing work across Meath and Dublin.

Planning Update 2026

Under planning regulations effective July 27, 2026, planning permission is no longer required for rear dormers, side dormers, and up to two front rooflights — subject to standard building conditions. This removes a significant barrier and allows most attic projects to proceed immediately. Beaufort will confirm what applies to your property at your initial site survey.
Important: Building Regulations still apply regardless of planning exemption. All structural work must comply with Part A (Structure), Part B (Fire), and Part L (Conservation of Energy). Beaufort handles all compliance documentation and certification.
