What is included in an upward extension in Dungannon?
An upward extension adds a new storey on top of an existing house, most often turning a bungalow into a two-storey or chalet-style home. It can double the floor area without using any of the garden.
- Planning and building control applications to the council
- Structural survey of walls and foundations
- Full fit-out of the new rooms

Northern Ireland projects need planning clearance and building control approval from the local council. We prepare the applications and agree any work near neighbouring property directly with the neighbours.
Adding a storey in Northern Ireland needs planning permission and building control approval.
What can affect an upward extension?
- The staircase takes space from the ground floor plan.
- Neighbours’ light and privacy are the main planning tests.
How does the project run?
- Send us the details. Give us a postcode, a rough idea of size and some photos, by phone, form or the guide price tool.
- We visit and measure. A surveyor checks the house, the boundaries and the ground, and discusses what is realistic.
- Design and fixed price. You get drawings and a written price for the agreed specification before anything is ordered.
- Construction and completion. One site lead co-ordinates every trade through to the building control certificate.
Your questions answered
Can I add a first floor to my bungalow?
Often yes, if the walls and foundations can carry the load and planning allows. We check the structure first.
Do we need to move out?
Often for part of the job, while the roof is off and the new floor is formed. We plan this with you.
Can you visit a house in Dungannon to quote?
Yes. After a short call we arrange a site visit to measure up and agree what the design needs to do, then send a written price.
