Garden Decking Price Survey 2021

Posted on May 22, 2021 by Oliver Dempsey

Tradesmen.ie Garden Decking Price Survey 2021

Garden decking has many benefits as an outdoor space for your home.  These include  providing an extra social space for children playing, dining, entertaining, or just simply relaxing. Whatever the reasons for creating a timber deck, it’s one of the most attractive additions that can be made to a home.

Recently we carried out a garden decking price survey.   We asked some tradesmen on our website to let us know roughly how much would it cost, excluding vat, to install a 6m x 6m decking in a garden, presuming the site is already prepared and level.  We also asked them for some tips on getting the best job done.  Here are some replies we got below:-

Covid 19 New Public Health Measures

Posted on May 3, 2021 by Oliver Dempsey

Covid 19 Update The Path Ahead

On April 29th new public health measures were announced by the Irish Government dubbed “The Path Ahead”.   These are a series of easements in the restrictions that we have experienced since late December 2020.   Ireland is in the early stages of the Recovery phase of the pandemic and the vaccination programme is well advanced.

Due to advice from the National Public Health Emergency Team (NPHET), the Government is satisfied that a careful and phased re-opening can be rolled out in May and June, “with an emphasis on outdoor activity and a moderate increase in social contact, can be considered low to medium risk. NPHET has advised that there is scope to ease a range of public health measures in this manner with sufficient time between any easing of measures to assess the impact.”

One of the main points is that all construction can restart from May 4th and workers who work outdoors can return to work.  I have summarised some of the other points below:-

Attic Conversion Price Survey 2021

Posted on April 18, 2021 by Oliver Dempsey

Tradesmen.ie Attic Conversion Cost Survey 2021

Recently we carried out a survey on attic conversion prices with some tradesmen on our website.   The Covid-19 vaccination programme is making progress and hopefully by the end of the Summer the worst will be behind us.   However, the past 12 months may change the way we live and work in the future, for example there may be more working from home or college students may attend their courses from home using online facilities.

If an extra room is needed for work or study, an attic conversion might be worth looking at.  In our attic conversion survey the question we asked was as follows:- How much would it cost, excluding vat, to add an extra bedroom in the attic and were there any tips they could give for getting the best job done. Here is a sample of the replies we received below:- Continue reading →

We also asked them to give any advice or suggestions on how to have a good experience with the tradesman. Here is a sample of the replies we got below:- Continue reading →
