Covering Portadown
We work in Portadown (BT62, BT63) and the places around it, including Craigavon, Banbridge and Armagh.
Homes in County Armagh
Housing in Northern Ireland mixes terraces in Belfast and Derry with detached houses and bungalows in towns and rural areas, many with room to extend.
What does a garage conversion involve?
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 check (some estates remove permitted development rights)
- Building control application
- Insulated floor, walls and ceiling

Planning and building rules in Portadown
Projects in Northern Ireland need planning clearance from one of the eleven councils and building control approval, also from the council. The Party Wall etc. Act does not extend to Northern Ireland, so work near neighbours is agreed directly and documented carefully.
In Northern Ireland, garage conversions often do not need planning permission if the external changes are minor; building control approval is needed.
What can change the price or programme?
- A bedroom needs an escape window or a protected route out.
- Losing a parking space can matter on streets with permit parking.
What happens after I enquire?
- 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.
