Room to Improve

Dermot Bannon starts with Margaret and Jodie Burke who plan to renovate the family home in Foxrock.

Pádraig Whooley and Lorraine Dufficey spent 265,000 pounds on their remote cottage at Rossmore in West Cork. They knew that - while the hilltop location was ideal - the house was far from it.

Dermot is in Laytown, helping James and Annmarie Sowray. With a budget of 60,000 pounds, Dermot's worry is even if you took away the shoddy workmanship you'd spend the 60,000.

Dermot is in Dalkey renovating a house for Brian and Julie. With a budget of 180,000 pounds, he must come up with an innovative design to match their exact requirements within the confines of an incredibly tight site.

Dermot is in Clontarf, with Denise and Ben who desperately want a second bathroom for their family home. However, their budget is limited.

Dermot is in Tullow, with Tom and Lisa who want to renovate their 19th century farmhouse.

Yvonne and John live in a housing estate in Dundalk with their two children. Four years ago, they decided to buy their next-door neighbours' house. They want to knock both houses into one. Dermot helps, but how much?

Jim and Siobhan Doyle live in a beautiful old house overlooking Dublin Bay in Sutton. See Dermot Bannon transform the rambling old house into a beautiful new space.
