What we do

Pale sawn timber studwork braced and standing in a room being rebuiltConstruction

Extensions, houses, timber frame, concrete and block. The structure, before anything gets a finish.

 Two rooflights fitted into a ceiling in a room still being builtRoofing

What a roof job costs, what the regulations say, and when the work is worth doing.

 Dark stained beams crossing a white sloped attic ceilingInterior

Walls, ceilings and partitions. What the wall is made of decides what it costs to change.

Inside and out, including the weather windows that decide when exterior work can start in Ireland.

How it runs

You get in touch

Ring, message on WhatsApp, or send the form with a photo. We answer the same day.

We come and look

A survey on site, then a written price. That price does not move once work starts.

We do the work

You get a start date and the name of the person on site. You can reach them all week.

You sign it off

We walk the job with you, take the waste away, and leave the 1-3 year guarantee in writing.

asked

What people ask before they ring

Will the price move once you start?

No. The price you sign is the price you pay. If we open something up and find a problem underneath, we stop, show you, and price that separately before we touch it. You decide.

Will someone actually turn up?

You get a start date in writing and the name of the person who will be on site. If we are running late you get a call, not silence.

What happens to the mess?

The waste leaves with us. Floors get covered before we start, and the site gets swept at the end of every day, not only at the end of the job.

Do you work outside Kerry, Cork and Limerick?

Not for building work. Those three counties are where the crew works. Anything from the shop ships across Europe.

Can you restore my old furniture?

Yes. Send us a few photos of the piece and we will tell you what it needs and what it costs before any work starts. Tables, chairs, cabinets and doors are restored by hand in our workshop.

Do you deliver the designer pieces?

Yes, anywhere in Europe. Pieces made to order come with a stated lead time, and delivery is arranged once your piece is finished.
