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 house renovation involve?
We survey the house to find what really needs doing, from damp and roof condition to wiring age, then programme the work so the messy trades (structure, first-fix, plaster) happen before the finishing trades. A single contract avoids the gaps that appear when separate trades are booked independently.
- Strip-out and structural repairs
- Rewiring, heating and plumbing
- Insulation and energy upgrades
What will a house renovation cost?
Use these ranges to budget for house renovations; the survey turns them into a fixed price for the agreed specification.
| House renovations | Guide price incl. VAT |
|---|---|
| Light refurbishment | £600 to £1,000 per m² |
| Full renovation | £1,000 to £1,800 per m² |
| Structural renovation and remodel | £1,800 to £2,800 per m² |
Planning and building rules in Armagh
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.
Internal alterations rarely need planning permission in Northern Ireland, but structural work needs building control approval.
What should Armagh homeowners check first?
- Older houses can hide timber decay and damp, so we allow a contingency.
- Living in during a full renovation is difficult; most people move out for part of it.
