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 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
- Foundations, drainage and structural steel
- Brickwork, roof, glazing and insulation

Planning and building rules in Lisnaskea
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.
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 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.
- Survey at your house. We look at the existing structure, services and access, and agree what the design needs to achieve.
- Price and paperwork. The design is priced line by line, and we submit the planning and building control applications.
- We build it. Work follows an agreed programme, with inspections at each stage and a final sign-off.
Your questions answered
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.
Can you visit a house in Lisnaskea to quote?
Yes. After a short call we arrange a site visit to measure up and agree what the design needs to do, then send a written price.
