Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you work on protected structures?
Yes — protected structures and listed buildings are a core part of our work. We understand the planning requirements, conservation guidelines, and appropriate materials needed for protected structures under Dublin City Council and local authority oversight. We coordinate directly with conservation officers where required.
What is lime mortar and why does it matter?
Lime mortar is the traditional binding material used in pre-1920s masonry construction. It is softer and more flexible than modern cement, which is critical for older buildings — cement repointing traps moisture and can cause serious spalling damage to historic brick and stone. We use hydraulic lime mixes appropriate to the specific stone and brick types in each building.
Do you need planning permission for restoration work?
Like-for-like repairs on ordinary structures typically don't require planning permission. However, works to protected structures, significant alterations to facades, or projects in Architectural Conservation Areas (ACAs) generally require consent. We advise on this at assessment stage and can liaise with the planning authority where needed.
Can you match original stone and brick colours?
Yes. We have established suppliers for heritage stone and brick throughout Ireland and the UK, and our team has experience matching original materials on Victorian, Georgian, and Edwardian properties across Dublin. Where exact matches aren't available, we can advise on the closest appropriate alternative.
Do you work with Dublin City Council conservation officers?
Yes — we regularly liaise with Dublin City Council and other local authority conservation officers as part of our project management. For protected structures, we can prepare method statements and attend pre-application meetings on behalf of clients to ensure the proposed works are approvable.
What is the difference between restoration and renovation?
Restoration aims to return a building to its original appearance and integrity using appropriate traditional materials and techniques. Renovation typically involves modernisation and may use contemporary methods. For protected structures and heritage properties, restoration is usually required — we specialise in this distinction and advise clients accordingly from the outset.
