Why it matters
How restoration specialists in Ireland win more work today.
The way homeowners find a restoration specialist has changed completely. When something needs doing, they reach for their phone and search Google for a restoration specialist in their area — then ring one of the first names they see. If your business isn't near the top of those results, the job quietly goes to a restoration specialist who is, and you never even knew it existed.
That's what Ranksy fixes for restoration specialists: we build your trade website, set up your Google Business Profile, and rank you locally so homeowners searching for a restoration specialist in your county find you first — and call you directly.
Most restoration specialist jobs are won on Google's first page
Every day, people across all 26 counties search "restoration specialist near me", "restoration specialist in Dublin", "restoration specialist in Cork" and the like. The handful of restoration specialists at the top take the overwhelming majority of the calls; everyone on page two might as well not exist. There's no prize for ranking tenth — the homeowner has rung someone and booked the job long before they scroll that far.
Your own website, built to rank
A Facebook page won't show up for those searches and a directory listing ranks the directory, not you. What works is your own restoration specialist website on your own domain — fast, mobile-first, with your services, your service area and your verified credentials, all built to be found. Ranksy builds and maintains the whole thing for you, so you get a site that actually wins work, not one that just sits there looking nice.
Local SEO that puts you in front of the right people
Being found locally comes down to a verified Google Business Profile, the right keywords on every page, consistent business details and genuine reviews — the signals Google rewards. Our local SEO for tradespeople handles all of it from day one, so when a homeowner in your county searches for a restoration specialist, you're the result in the map pack, not buried below the directories.
homeowners search online for a tradesperson before they ever pick up the phone.
One restoration specialist per county — your patch is yours
Ranksy works with one restoration specialist per county. Once you've claimed your spot, no competing restoration specialist on Ranksy can take it in that county — you're not racing another of our members for the same searches, and the work in that patch is yours to win. It's first-come, so the longer you leave it, the more likely a rival claims your area first.
The enquiries come straight to you
Unlike pay-per-lead platforms that sell the same enquiry to four or five restoration specialists, your direct number sits on your site and your profile, so homeowners call you and only you. If your goal is simply more trade jobs, owning your own search results is the most reliable way to get them — every call that comes in is yours alone.
What it costs
A custom restoration specialist website from a designer in Ireland typically runs €1,500 to €5,000, and still needs SEO on top. Ranksy is a flat €99 a month — covering your website, local SEO, Google Business Profile and verified credentials — with no setup fee, no contract, and your first 60 days free, no card required. For most restoration specialists, one extra job a month more than covers it.
You don't need to know a thing about websites or SEO. You need to be the first restoration specialist a homeowner in your county finds on Google — and that is exactly what Ranksy is built to do.

Questions, answered
Restoration specialists in Ireland — common questions.
How much does building restoration cost in Ireland?
Building restoration costs vary significantly by project scope. Stone repointing on a standard two-storey house typically costs €3,000 to €8,000. A full external restoration including cleaning, repointing, render repair, and window restoration ranges from €10,000 to €40,000 or more for larger period properties. All Ranksy-listed contractors provide detailed written quotations after a site survey.
Do Ranksy building restoration specialists cover my area?
Ranksy has one vetted building restoration contractor per county across all 26 counties of Ireland — from Dublin, Cork, and Galway to Roscommon, Leitrim, and Donegal. Period properties and stone buildings are found across rural and urban Ireland, and Ranksy contractors are experienced working in both. Check the directory to see if your county spot is still open.
Do I need planning permission for building restoration?
Routine maintenance and like-for-like restoration generally does not require planning permission. However, significant alterations to the external appearance of a property, or any work on a protected structure or in an Architectural Conservation Area (ACA), requires planning consent from the local authority. Your Ranksy contractor will advise on planning requirements before any work begins.
What is the difference between restoration and renovation?
Restoration aims to return a building to its original or historical condition using appropriate materials and methods — especially important for protected structures and period properties. Renovation improves or updates a building but may use modern materials and techniques. Many Irish building restoration specialists work across both, but protected structures legally require a restoration approach using lime mortar, natural stone, and other traditional materials.
Are Ranksy contractors experienced with protected structures?
Yes. Building restoration on the Ranksy network includes contractors with experience working on protected structures and buildings in Architectural Conservation Areas. They understand the obligations under the Planning and Development Act and will liaise with local authority conservation officers where required.
What building restoration services are available?
Ranksy-listed contractors cover stone repointing and lime mortar work, brick cleaning and repair, external render and plasterwork, masonry consolidation and crack repairs, chimney rebuilding and restoration, window and door frame restoration, heritage conservation and protected structure work, and period property renovation including internal lime plaster.
What grants are available for building restoration in Ireland?
The Built Heritage Investment Scheme (BHIS) and the Historic Structures Fund (HSF) offer funding for conservation and repair of historic buildings in Ireland, administered through local authorities. Some energy upgrade grants from SEAI also apply to older properties once restoration work is completed. Your Ranksy contractor can advise on eligibility and help with grant documentation.
Why use lime mortar rather than cement on old stone buildings?
Lime mortar is the traditional and correct choice for stone and old brick buildings in Ireland. It is softer and more flexible than cement, allowing the wall to breathe and move naturally. Cement mortar traps moisture inside the wall, leading to spalling stonework, dampness, and long-term structural damage. Using the wrong mortar on a protected structure can result in planning enforcement action.
