Working in Armagh
Across BT61, we can visit, measure and advise. Nearby, we also take on projects in Portadown (8 miles), Craigavon (11 miles).
Just over the County Down border, Banbridge is about 14 miles away. In Northern Ireland, extension projects follow the NI planning rules and council building control, which we account for from the first survey.

Will the council need to approve it?
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 Armagh address depends on its history and any designations, which is why we check it at the first visit.
Building close to a public sewer needs the agreement of NI Water, which we check during design.
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.
Applications are decided by your council, which handles local planning in Northern Ireland.
Included in a typical project
- Single-storey extension options assessed first
- Level thresholds and accessible layouts
- Roof designs that tie into the existing hipped or gable roof
- Structural survey before any upward extension
- Planning application where needed
Bungalow roofs are often hipped, which makes tying in an extension roof a careful job. We draw the roof junction early because it drives both the look and the cost.

Build and sign-off
Work is carried out to the agreed programme, inspected by building control and signed off at the end.
Common questions in Armagh
Do you cover all of Armagh?
Yes. We cover Armagh and the surrounding parts of County Armagh. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
How long does a bungalow extension take to build in Armagh?
On site, typically 10 to 18 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 6–14 weeks design and approvals.
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Armagh, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
How much does a bungalow extension cost?
Our guide range for single-storey work is about £1,500 to £2,920 per m² including VAT. Going upwards is priced after a structural survey.
Is it better to extend sideways or upwards?
Sideways and rearwards is usually simpler, cheaper and keeps single-level living. Upwards saves garden but means stairs, more structure and planning permission.
