Homes in County Fermanagh
Northern Ireland has a high proportion of detached houses and bungalows outside the cities, which often suit side extensions, rear extensions and upward extensions.
What does a double-storey extension involve?
Two-storey work has to sit comfortably with the house and the neighbours, so most of the design effort goes into the roofline, window positions and how the new first floor connects to the landing. We handle the planning application, the structural design and the building control process, then build, roof and finish both floors.
- Planning and building control applications to the council
- Measured survey, design and planning drawings
- Foundations, steelwork, brick and block walls, roof

What can affect a double-storey extension?
- Side extensions close to a boundary are often set back or stepped down so they do not create a terraced effect.
- Neighbours’ light is assessed using the 45-degree guide many councils use.
What are the steps?
- Start with a conversation. A short call or the online form is enough for us to understand what you want to build.
- Free site visit. We measure up, look at access, drains and the structure, and talk through options and budget.
- Price and paperwork. The design is priced line by line, and we submit the planning and building control applications.
- Build and hand over. Our teams build to the programme, building control inspects, and you get the completion paperwork at the end.
