When we started our business over 20 years ago our aim as a construction company/attic conversion is to ensure our customers get the best materials ,quality workmanship , a structural system that ensures safety when converting there attic & a price that can reflect what you pay for.Over the years we have learned from every conversion or extension we have done improving our system .As there are many attic conversion companies in cork converting attics the trouble is who will i choose ?


We have all heard of rogue traders or cowboy builders these apply all trades and businesses across the board but when it comes to the construction trade there are a considerable amount out there willing to take your money and do a shoddy job which causes upset for the customer and more money to fix it if it can be fixed .So how do you know if a company or tradesman is a cowboy builder?


There are so many companies out there like us that offer a good service in order to do that we are registered as a company ,vat registered ,we can work with an engineer to receive a certificate of compliance .see below for more



1. To check if a company is a registered business go to solo check or the company registration website.

2.Check contact numbers & the number of ways you can get in contact with a business these should include Landline,mobile number ,email address ,website contact form is the address of the business displayed ,Contact within social media .

3.When looking at the online portfolio of work are these photos of work the company has done or photo stock images which can be bought also images can be taken from google images and displayed on any website.

4.Ask questions at consultation ensure you get the correct information fact check if it sounds to good to be true it usually is.

5.Does the quotation display company details

6.References although alot of companies display references on websites and social media ask to see previous work a company proud of their workmanship will have no problem putting you in touch with previous customers.99% of our work come from recommendations from previous customers

7.When it comes to converting your attic you need to consider the most important part and thats the structural work you are dealing with the roof of your house "get a cheap job pay for it twice "Connor pope.

8. You cannot get your attic converted with superior materials & a structural system for €5,000.€10,000 or even €15,000 .This is a unrealistic price

What can go wrong with an attic for this price.No insulation dampness sagging roof with no structural system too cold in the winter too hot in summer


We hope the above information will help you when considering an attic conversion.
