Essential due to Ireland’s damp climate. Proper tanking can cost €50-€100 per square metre. Consider a cavity drain membrane system for optimal results. Failure to waterproof can lead to mould growth and structural damage.
Crucial for energy efficiency. Aim for a U-value of 0.25 W/m²K or lower. Insulating walls and floors can cost €30-€50 per square metre. This can reduce heating costs by up to 15-20% annually.
Vital to prevent dampness and improve air quality. Install a mechanical ventilation system with heat recovery (MVHR), costing €2,000-€4,000. This can reduce humidity levels by up to 50% and improve energy efficiency.
Basements often lack natural light. Incorporate light wells or sun pipes where possible. LED lighting can provide energy-efficient illumination. Budget €500-€1,500 for a comprehensive lighting plan. Good lighting can increase the usable space by up to 30%.
Add up to 30% more living space to your home without extending its footprint. In Ireland, where the average house size is 81 square metres, this could mean an additional 24 square metres of usable space. This extra room can be utilised for various purposes such as a home office or gym.
Proper insulation and waterproofing can reduce heat loss by up to 15-20%. In Ireland, where the average household spends €2,000 annually on energy, this could translate to savings of €300-€400 per year. Additionally, a renovated basement can help achieve a better Building Energy Rating (BER), potentially increasing from an E or F rating to a C or B, which is crucial for meeting Ireland's 2030 climate targets.
Basement renovations offer a high return on investment, potentially increasing your property's value by 10-20%. In Dublin, where the average house price is €425,000, this could mean an increase of €42,500 to €85,000. Moreover, with Ireland's housing shortage, a renovated basement can make your property more attractive to potential buyers or renters.

Key costs include waterproofing (€50-€100/m²) and insulation (€30-€50/m²). Budget an extra 10-15% for unforeseen expenses.
Most cellar conversions don’t require planning permission in Ireland as they are considered permitted development. However, significant alterations or new basements may need approval. The application process takes 8-12 weeks and costs €60-€80. Always check with your local authority first.
A basement renovation typically takes 6 to 12 weeks, depending on the project scope. Basic renovations may take 6-8 weeks, while complex jobs could take longer. Waterproofing usually requires 1-2 weeks, with finishing work taking an additional 2-3 weeks.
Moisture-resistant flooring is essential for basements.

Preventing damp is crucial in Ireland’s climate. Key strategies include: 1) Proper waterproofing (€50-€100/m²) – use tanking slurry or cavity drain membrane systems. 2) Adequate ventilation – install a mechanical ventilation system with heat recovery (MVHR), costing €2,000-€4,000. 3) Effective drainage – install a sump pump system (€1,000-€2,000) to remove excess water. 4) Insulation – use closed-cell foam insulation (€30-€50/m²) to prevent condensation. 5) Dehumidification – use a dehumidifier (€200-€500) to maintain optimal humidity levels. Regular maintenance and monitoring are essential to prevent future damp issues.
