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 house renovation in Dungannon?
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.
- Planning and building control applications to the council
- Condition survey and scope of works
- Rewiring, heating and plumbing
What will a house renovation cost?
Typical ranges for house renovations. Ground conditions, access and specification move the final figure, which we fix in writing before work starts.
| 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 |
Do you need permission for a house renovation in Dungannon?
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 can change the price or programme?
- 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.
What are the steps?
- Tell us about the project. Call, use the guide price tool or send the form with a few photos and a postcode.
