Planning a house renovation in Wexford? Abd and Sons Construction is a family-run renovation company based in Clonroche, near Enniscorthy. We take on complete home renovations as well as single rooms — bathrooms, kitchens, sitting rooms, flooring, plastering, carpentry and attic conversions — for homeowners and landlords right across County Wexford.
The difference with a full renovation is coordination. Instead of booking five separate trades and hoping they turn up in the right order, you hire one professional builder who manages the whole home improvement project from start to finish, keeps the house as liveable as possible, and takes responsibility for the finished result.
What a full house renovation includes
Every project is different, but a typical Wexford house renovation brings several rooms up to date at once. We agree the design and layout with you first, then plan the construction so the messy stages — strip-out, pipework, electrics coordination and plastering — happen first, followed by tiling, flooring and finishing carpentry. A bathroom renovation or kitchen job sits naturally inside a wider renovation, so every room is finished to the same standard.
- Bathroom renovations: new suite, pipework, tanking and tiling
- Kitchen renovations: units, worktops, splashbacks and flooring
- Sitting room refurbishments, including chimney breast and stove surrounds
- Re-plastering and skimming throughout
- New flooring through the whole house
- Doors, skirting, architrave and fitted storage
- Attic conversions with insulation, flooring and finishing to add a bedroom or office
Where does the money go in a renovation?
The most expensive parts of a home renovation are usually the rooms with the most trades in them — kitchens and bathrooms — and anything hidden that has to be put right, such as old pipework, damp walls or uneven floors. Finishes matter too: large-format porcelain tiles or a bespoke kitchen cost far more than standard options that can look almost as good.
The cheapest way to renovate an older house is to fix the fabric once, properly, and then choose finishes carefully. We will tell you honestly where spending more makes a difference and where it does not, and every quote we give is written and itemised so you can see exactly what you are paying for.
Renovating a vacant or older property
If you have bought a vacant or older house in Wexford, it is worth checking whether you qualify for the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant, which Wexford County Council administers locally. Eligibility and amounts change, so confirm the current terms with the council before you commit to a budget.
Whatever the funding, we can walk through the property with you, explain what needs doing and in what order, and give you a clear written quote for the renovation work we carry out.
Choosing the right builder for your renovation
When you shortlist renovation contractors in Wexford, compare written quotes like for like, ask who will actually be on site, and ask how the house will be left at the end of each day. A good builder or contractor should be easy to contact, clear about the schedule before the job begins, and willing to recommend where your budget is best spent.
We work as a single project-managed team, give you a direct line to the people doing the work, keep sites clean and safe every evening, and are contactable 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Common questions
How long does a full house renovation take?
It depends on how many rooms are involved. A single bathroom typically takes one to two weeks; a multi-room renovation is planned room by room, and we agree a realistic schedule with you before we start.
Can we live in the house during the renovation?
Often, yes. We sequence the work so you keep a working kitchen or bathroom for as long as possible, and we clean up at the end of every day.
Do you supply materials?
We can supply everything, or fit tiles, sanitaryware and kitchens you have chosen and bought yourself. Either way you get a clear materials list before work starts.
Are there grants for renovating a house in Wexford?
The Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant is administered by Wexford County Council for qualifying vacant and derelict homes. Check the current terms with the council, as eligibility and amounts change.
Which areas of Wexford do you cover?
All of County Wexford, including Enniscorthy, Wexford town, Gorey, New Ross and Bunclody, as well as Waterford, Kilkenny, Carlow, Wicklow and Tipperary.
