Covering Armagh
We work in Armagh (BT60, BT61) and the places around it, including Keady, Portadown and Dungannon.
Homes in County Armagh
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 is included in a garage conversion in Armagh?
Most integral garages already have the walls and roof; what they need is a new insulated floor, an infilled front wall with a window, and heating. We check whether your permitted development rights are intact, handle building control and finish the room ready to use.
- Planning and building control applications to the council
- Heating, electrics and data points
- Plastering, skirting and decoration-ready finish
What will a garage conversion cost?
Typical ranges for garage conversions. Ground conditions, access and specification move the final figure, which we fix in writing before work starts.

|---|---|
| Single integral garage | £12,000 to £17,000 |
| Single attached garage | £12,000 to £24,000 |
| Single detached garage | £18,000 to £30,000 |
| Double garage | £25,000 to £54,000 |
Planning and building rules in Armagh
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.
In Northern Ireland, garage conversions often do not need planning permission if the external changes are minor; building control approval is needed.
What should I think about before starting?
- The garage floor is often lower than the house and needs raising.
- A bedroom needs an escape window or a protected route out.
From first call to completion
- Tell us about the project. Call, use the guide price tool or send the form with a few photos and a postcode.
- 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.
- Construction and completion. One site lead co-ordinates every trade through to the building control certificate.
Your questions answered
Do I need planning permission for a garage conversion?
Usually not if the work is internal and your permitted development rights are intact. Some estates remove those rights, so we check.
Does it need building regulations approval?
Yes, because it becomes a habitable room.
Can you visit a house in Armagh 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.
