Working in County Tyrone
Towns we cover in County Tyrone include Omagh, Cookstown, Strabane. In Northern Ireland, extension projects follow the NI planning rules and council building control, which we account for from the first survey.
Is a bedroom extension right for your house?
- Multi-generational households
- Growing families
- Homeowners who want an en-suite master bedroom
New bedrooms on an upper floor need an escape window or a protected route to the outside under the building regulations. We design the window sizes and stair route to meet that from the outset.
Planning and approvals in County Tyrone
In Northern Ireland the Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015 lets some single-storey rear extensions go ahead without planning permission, up to 3 m on a semi-detached or terraced house and 4 m on a detached house, within height and boundary limits. Larger, side and two-storey extensions normally need planning permission from the council, and building control approval is separate.
The planning position for a specific County Tyrone address depends on its history and any designations, which is why we check it at the first visit.
Northern Ireland has no Party Wall Act. Where work is on or close to a shared boundary, we agree access and protection with your neighbour in writing before work starts.
Building close to a public sewer needs the agreement of NI Water, which we check during design.
Applications are decided by your council, which handles local planning in Northern Ireland.

Questions people ask about bedroom extensions
Do I need building regulations approval in County Tyrone?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
Will my neighbours in County Tyrone be involved?
If a planning application is needed, the council notifies neighbours. Where work is close to a shared boundary, we agree access and protection with them in writing.
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for County Tyrone, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
Can I add a ground-floor bedroom for a relative?
Yes. A ground-floor bedroom with an accessible shower room is a common request. If it will be lived in as a self-contained home, planning treats it differently, so tell us how it will be used.
Will a new bedroom need planning permission?
Upstairs additions usually do. Ground-floor rooms may fall within permitted development, depending on size and position.
