Older walls
We separate lining needs from simple repaints so quotes stay honest.
Rathmines packs apartments, redbrick terraces, and mixed conversions close to main roads - jobs factor noise limits, stair access without lifts, rental turnovers, and woodwork detail in rooms with uneven old walls.
Older building details are treated with precision, helping protect character features while still delivering a fresh, modern finished result.
We separate lining needs from simple repaints so quotes stay honest.
Walk-up flats get kit and time allowances on the programme.
Kitchens and halls are prioritised for fast marketing shots.
Lining and local prep beat a quick roll on cracked plaster; steamy small kitchens get pragmatic sheens.
On-street loading and ladder security are planned; washing is honest on sooty fronts.
Void lists are explicit for inventory photography and clerk sign-off.
Rathgar-side and Dublin south pages widen the search if your flat sits on the edge.
Walk-up flat was costed with stair time included - no surprise add-on.

Evening access worked around the shop below; noise was kept sensible.

Front was washed before red; old soot used to show through every spring.

Often yes - access hours, noise, and fire-door rules are confirmed with you or the management agent first.
Failed cornice or cracked lath needs repair paths; we flag when decoration alone will not hold.
Depends on prep and woodwork; the quote states day blocks rather than a vague “few days”.
Rathmines sees one-bed lets, interior modernisation, and exterior fronts before sale - pick the closest service.
