Fingal (North Dublin)

Building or Renovating in Fingal? Bayt's Got Your North Dublin Project Covered.

From seaside towns like Malahide and Skerries to growing suburbs like Swords, Blanchardstown, and Lusk, Fingal is one of the fastest-growing parts of the country. It's a great place to live, with a mix of older homes full of charm and newer estates full of potential.

At Bayt, we've helped homeowners across North Dublin turn their houses into brighter, bigger, and more functional homes, whether that means a rear extension, a full renovation, or even a brand-new build.

Common Construction Challenges in Fingal

Fingal has a lot going for it — but like any area, it comes with its own set of building challenges. Here are some of the most common issues we help people overcome:

• Planning permission on newer estates - Many homes in places like Swords, Lusk, and Donabate are less than 20 years old and may have restrictions on changes.
• Small back gardens - In some newer developments, space is tight, so extensions need smart design to stay within limits.
• Insulation issues in older homes - 60s-80s properties in Blanchardstown and Castleknock often need serious energy upgrades.
• Coastal exposure - Homes in Malahide, Portmarnock, and Skerries can suffer from wind, salt air, and damp if not properly protected.
• Underused attics - Many houses in Fingal have unused roof space that could easily become a bedroom, office, or playroom.
• Cramped layouts - Older homes tend to have small kitchens and closed-in living areas — we help open them up and bring in natural light.

Whether it's a small fix or a full transformation, we know how to work around these challenges, and make your home work better for you.
