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 goes into a kitchen extension?

We design the room and the kitchen together, so the island, sink and appliances line up with the structure rather than fighting it. You can use your own kitchen supplier or have us supply and fit one. Either way we co-ordinate the trades so the room is finished in one sequence.

  • Planning or permitted development check
  • Drainage, gas and electrics planned to the kitchen layout

How is a kitchen extension approved in Newtownabbey?

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 permitted development is set by the Planning (General Permitted Development) Order (Northern Ireland) 2015, and small single-storey rear extensions can often go ahead without an application. Building control approval from the council is still needed.

What should Newtownabbey homeowners check first?

  • Extraction to the outside must be planned before the walls go up.
  • Worktops are templated after the units are fitted, adding a short gap before completion.

What happens after I enquire?

  1. Start with a conversation. A short call or the online form is enough for us to understand what you want to build.
  2. We visit and measure. A surveyor checks the house, the boundaries and the ground, and discusses what is realistic.
  3. Design and fixed price. You get drawings and a written price for the agreed specification before anything is ordered.
  4. Build and hand over. Our teams build to the programme, building control inspects, and you get the completion paperwork at the end.

Your questions answered

Can I use my own kitchen company?

Yes. We work to their drawings and co-ordinate delivery and fitting dates.

Is underfloor heating worth it?

In large open-plan rooms with big glazed doors it frees up wall space and heats evenly. We include it as an option.

Who deals with the council for a project in Newtownabbey?

We do. We prepare the drawings, submit planning or permitted development paperwork if needed, and arrange building control inspections.
