Our services
Residential and commercial work across Wicklow and Dublin
Restoration & Conservation
We specialise in the restoration and conservation of period and protected buildings, with particular expertise in lime-based finishes that preserve the character and breathability of Georgian and Victorian architecture. Lime plaster and lime render are essential to the long-term health of older structures, as they allow walls to move and breathe in a way that modern cement cannot. Our craftsmen are experienced in matching original finishes, repairing ornamental stonework, and restoring facades to the standard they deserve.

Kitchen & Bathroom Fitouts
A well-built kitchen or bathroom makes a difference every single day. We handle the full fit-out from first fix to final tile, coordinating plumbing, electrical, tiling, and joinery so you deal with one contractor from start to finish. Whether you are upgrading a single bathroom or refitting an entire floor, the standard of finish stays the same throughout.

Interior Painting & Decoration
A good paint job is about preparation as much as the finish. We strip back, fill, prime, and apply to a standard that holds up over time and looks right when the light hits it. We work across residential refurbishments, period properties, and new builds, matching colours and finishes to the character of each space.

Frequently asked questions
- Do you offer free quotes?
- Yes, we offer a free initial consultation and site visit for all projects across Dublin and Wicklow. Get in touch to arrange yours.
- Why use lime plaster and lime render on older buildings?
- Lime-based finishes are essential for Georgian and Victorian buildings because they are breathable and flexible. Unlike modern cement, lime allows moisture to escape through the wall rather than trapping it, which prevents damp, cracking, and long-term structural damage.
- Are you fully insured?
- Yes. Alan Phibbs Construction carries full public liability and employers' liability insurance on every project.
- Do you work across Dublin as well as Wicklow?
- Yes. We are based in Greystones, Co. Wicklow, and regularly take on projects across Dublin city and county, as well as the wider Wicklow area.
