Who a double-storey extension suits
- Homeowners who would otherwise consider moving
- Growing families who need a bedroom as well as a bigger kitchen
- Houses with enough distance to the rear or side boundary
The roof is what makes a two-storey extension look right or wrong. We match the pitch and materials of the main house wherever possible and plan the upstairs layout around the existing landing so the new rooms feel original rather than bolted on.
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 Enniskillen 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.
Applications are decided by your council, which handles local planning in Northern Ireland.
From first visit to completion
Site visits are free and there is no obligation. Where drawings are needed, the design stage is priced in writing before it starts.
Free site visit
A designer visits, takes measurements and photos, and discusses layouts, budget and timing with you.
Design and approvals
Once the layout is agreed, we deal with the council: planning permission or written confirmation that none is needed, plus building control.
Fixed written price
The price is fixed in writing once the design is settled, with a clear programme and payment stages.
Build and sign-off
We build it with one project manager, book the building control inspections and hand over the completion certificate.
Your questions about a double-storey extension in Enniskillen
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Enniskillen, 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 double-storey extension take to build in Enniskillen?
On site, typically 16 to 24 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 8–16 weeks design and approvals.
Who do I contract with for a double-storey extension in Enniskillen?
Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which designs and manages the project and the build teams who carry it out.
Is a two-storey extension cheaper per square metre?
Usually. Our guide range is about £1,330 to £2,580 per m² of new floor area including VAT, compared with £1,500 to £2,920 per m² for single-storey work, because the foundations and roof are shared across two floors.
