Structural alterations: what the job involves
Removing or opening up a load-bearing wall — usually to join kitchen and dining room — or making a new opening in an external wall. An engineer designs the steel or lintel and how the wall is propped, and a builder does the work to that design.
How long it takes: Usually one to two weeks including propping, installation and making good; steel lead time and moving services can add time.
The full guide to structural alterations — the steps, what is included, the Irish rules, paperwork and questions to ask.
What structural alterations in Clogheen costs, 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
- Span of the opening and the size of steel
- What the wall carries: a floor, a wall above or roof loads
- Services in the wall to reroute
- Making good floors, ceilings and plaster
- Access to get steel into the house
- VAT: building work on a home is charged at the reduced 13.5% rate by a VAT-registered builder, unless materials are more than two-thirds of the price (Revenue’s two-thirds rule)
- 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.
County Tipperary: what the figures say
45.4% of households in County Tipperary live in homes built before 1981 — above the national figure of 40.7%, and the 2nd highest share of the 26 counties.
Older houses often bring damp, uneven floors and outdated services into an extension or renovation; a survey before work starts is worth its fee.

Rules and grants for structural alterations
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.
What to ask before you choose
- Are you pricing from drawings and a specification, and which revision?
- Who handles the Commencement Notice and any certification?
- What is excluded — electrics, plumbing, finishes, skips?
- What insurance do you carry, and can I see it?
- How are payments staged against the work done?
- Is VAT included?
What the work usually involves
- Blocklaying and garden walls
- Groundworks and foundations
- Damp-proofing
- Garage and attic conversions
What to put in your task
- What you want built or changed, with rough sizes
- Whether you have drawings or planning permission
- Access for machinery and where waste can go
- When you would like it started and finished
