Vasilij and team did an outstanding job with our recent house renovations. Their work was exceptional including flooring, tiling, painting plumbing/bathroom installation and other works. The team was always so pleasant, hardworking, diligent and professional. They were also great for coming up with ideas and solutions to make things work, even if not straightforward. They transformed our home beautifully and I would highly recommend!

I recently had my bathroom renovated by VJ and his team and I couldn't be happier with the results! From the initial consultation to the final touches, the entire team was professional, friendly, and incredibly skilled. They took the time to understand my vision and offered valuable suggestions that really enhanced the overall design. The quality of their work is outstanding, and they paid attention to every detail, ensuring everything was perfect. I highly recommend VJ to anyone looking for reliable and trustworthy builders.

Vasilij and the team are just incredible. Super clean, timely and their work is just wow. We used the team to help with some large works to our house last year which included levelling and laying new wooden floors, carpet upstairs, insulation/repair and minor repairs and painting to the house. All works were completed in perfect order and all communication/interaction was professional start to finish.

Things to consider when renovating a basement

Waterproofing

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.

Insulation

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.

Ventilation

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.

Lighting

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%.

Basement Remodel Benefits

Increased Living Space

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.

Improved Energy Efficiency

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.

Increased Property Value

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got more questions about your basement revamp? Call 01 270 9764 for additional information.

Basement renovations in Ireland typically cost between €30,000 and €100,000. Expect to pay €1,000 to €1,500 per square metre for basic work and up to €2,500 for high-end finishes. 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. Popular options include: 1) Vinyl (€20-€50/m²) – waterproof and easy to install; 2) Ceramic tiles (€30-€80/m²) – durable; 3) Engineered wood (€50-€100/m²) – stable in humidity; 4) Epoxy (€50-€100/m²) – seamless; 5) Cork (€40-€80/m²) – mould resistant.

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.
