What builders in Newcastle cost, and why

What jobs on Talqero came to

Not enough comparable jobs yet to publish a range here. Talqero shows a price range only once at least five comparable jobs, agreed prices or offers exist — a range from fewer would describe a handful of jobs, not the market. Post your job and compare the offers you get.

What affects the price

  • Floor area, foundations and ground conditions
  • Structural work: steel, lintels, removing walls
  • Specification of finishes, and who supplies them
  • Design, engineering and building-control certification
  • Access for machinery and skips
  • VAT: building work on a home is charged at the reduced rate of 13.5% by a VAT-registered business — unless the materials come to more than two-thirds of the price, when Revenue’s two-thirds rule applies the goods rate to the whole job. Ask whether a quote includes VAT.

Rules and grants for building and renovation work

The rules in Ireland

Since 27 July 2026, a rear extension of up to 45 m² is exempt from planning permission under conditions, and building work still has to meet the building regulations.

  • Class 1 (rear extensions): exempt up to 45 m² in total, counting every extension built since 1 October 1964; the part above the ground floor is limited to 12 m² for terraced and semi-detached houses and 20 m² for detached houses, and must be at least 2 m from a party boundary.
  • The extension may not be higher than the house’s walls and roof, must leave at least 25 m² of private open space, and its roof may not be used as a balcony.
  • Sheds and garden rooms (Class 3) are exempt up to 30 m², not in front of the house; side or rear dormers up to 30 m³ are also newly exempt.
  • A Commencement Notice is lodged with the Building Control Authority through the BCMS portal 14 to 28 days before work starts; larger works need it with documentation and statutory certification, or an opt-out for a single dwelling. Check the requirement for your job with your council.

Questions about hiring a builder

Do I need planning permission?

Some work is exempt and some is not. Check with your local council before you commit, and say in your task what you have already found out.

How do I compare builders’ offers?

Ask each one what is included, how long it will take, and how they will stage the payments you agree directly with them.

What if something goes wrong?

Write it in the conversation first. If that gets nowhere, open a dispute: a named person reads both sides and decides with written reasons.
