Covering Lisnaskea
Alongside Lisnaskea, we also cover Enniskillen, Omagh (25 miles to the north) and Keady.
Because County Fermanagh covers a wide area, we confirm availability after the first call and include any travel costs in the written quote rather than adding them later.
Homes in County Fermanagh
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 is a knock down and rebuild?
We assess whether rebuilding is better value than extending and renovating, prepare the planning application for the replacement dwelling, manage the demolition notice and asbestos survey, then build the new home. The process runs much like a new build once the old house is cleared.
- Feasibility: rebuild versus extend and renovate
- Demolition and site clearance
- Reconnection of services and landscaping

How is a knock down and rebuild approved in Lisnaskea?
In Northern Ireland the council handles both planning and building control. Permitted development rules are set by the Planning (General Permitted Development) Order (Northern Ireland) 2015, and there is no party wall act, so we agree access and protection with neighbours in writing.
This needs full planning permission from the council in Northern Ireland, plus building control approval.
What can affect a knock down and rebuild?
- You will need somewhere to live for most of a year.
- Planning policy on replacement dwellings varies, especially in green belt and countryside.
From first call to completion
- Start with a conversation. A short call or the online form is enough for us to understand what you want to build.
- Site visit. We walk the plot or existing house, look at access, levels, services and boundaries, and talk through what could be built.
- Drawings, approvals, written quote. We prepare the design, apply for the approvals it needs, and give you a fixed price in writing.
- Construction and completion. One site lead co-ordinates every trade through to the building control certificate.
