What goes into a single-storey extension?
A single-storey extension adds one level of new floor space to the back or side of a house, usually to open up a kitchen, dining or family room. It is the most common way to gain space without moving, and many can be built without a planning application.
- Planning and building control applications to the council
- Building control application and inspections
- Foundations, drainage and structural steel

What should I think about before starting?
- Drains under the footprint may need diverting or a build-over agreement with the water company.
- Large glazed areas need to meet energy rules, which can shape the size of doors and rooflights.
What happens after I enquire?
- Start with a conversation. A short call or the online form is enough for us to understand what you want to build.
- Survey at your house. We look at the existing structure, services and access, and agree what the design needs to achieve.
- Design and fixed price. You get drawings and a written price for the agreed specification before anything is ordered.
- Construction and completion. One site lead co-ordinates every trade through to the building control certificate.
Single-storey extensions: common questions
Can we stay in the house during the build?
Usually yes. We keep the existing house closed off from the works until the knock-through near the end, and agree a temporary kitchen set-up with you if the kitchen is affected.
Do you need to dig up the drains?
Sometimes. If a public sewer runs under the extension, the water company has to agree a build-over or a diversion. We check this at survey stage.
Who deals with the council for a project in County Fermanagh?
We do. We prepare the drawings, submit planning or permitted development paperwork if needed, and arrange building control inspections.
