Who a bungalow extension suits
- Families wanting more space on one floor
- Bungalows on larger plots
- Homeowners planning for later life
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.
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.
Before any drawing is finalised we check whether the house is listed, in a conservation area or subject to an Article 4 direction.
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.
Covering Limavady
Across BT49, we can visit, measure and advise. Nearby, we also take on projects in Coleraine (13 miles), Derry/Londonderry (15 miles), Magherafelt (23 miles).
Just over the County Tyrone border, Strabane is about 24 miles away. Northern Ireland's housing ranges from city terraces to large numbers of detached houses and bungalows on rural plots, many in render, where single-storey extensions fit easily.

Bungalow extension questions answered
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Limavady, 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 long does a bungalow extension take to build in Limavady?
On site, typically 10 to 18 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 6–14 weeks design and approvals.
Do you cover all of Limavady?
Yes. We cover Limavady and the surrounding parts of County Londonderry. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
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.
