Covering Enniskillen
Alongside Enniskillen, we also cover Lisnaskea (10 miles to the south-east), Omagh and Strabane.
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
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 porch in Enniskillen?
We build porches in matching brick with a tiled or lead roof, a new composite or timber door, and lighting. If you want a wider entrance or a WC, we can design a larger front extension instead and handle the planning.
- Design to match the house
- Front door and side window supply and fit
- Plastering and flooring ready finish

Planning and building rules in Enniskillen
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.
In Northern Ireland small porches are usually permitted development within size and position limits; larger ones need planning permission.
What can affect a porch?
- Gas meters and drains near the front door may need relocating.
- The roof pitch should echo the main roof or bay window.
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.
- We visit and measure. A surveyor checks the house, the boundaries and the ground, and discusses what is realistic.
- Drawings, approvals, written quote. We prepare the design, apply for the approvals it needs, and give you a fixed price in writing.
- Build and hand over. Our teams build to the programme, building control inspects, and you get the completion paperwork at the end.
