Local to Larne
Our survey diary covers Larne, including BT40. Neighbouring towns we cover include Carrickfergus (9 miles), Newtownabbey (14 miles), Belfast (18 miles), Antrim (18 miles).
In Northern Ireland, extension projects follow the NI planning rules and council building control, which we account for from the first survey.
Who a kitchen extension suits
- Homes being prepared for sale or a long-term stay
- Small or closed-off kitchens
- Families who want cooking, dining and living together
We start with the working triangle and the island, then set the doors, glazing and roof lights around it. Getting this order right avoids the classic mistakes: a sink against a blank wall, glare on the hob or a fridge blocking the garden view.
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.
Homes in conservation areas, areas of townscape character and listed buildings have tighter rules, so we always check the property's status and planning history before design starts.
In Northern Ireland building control is run by the councils under the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland). We submit full plans or a building notice and book the inspections through to completion.
Applications are decided by your council, which handles local planning in Northern Ireland.

Common questions in Larne
Who do I contract with for a kitchen extension in Larne?
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.
Do you cover all of Larne?
Yes. We cover Larne and the surrounding parts of County Antrim. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Larne, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
Where should the island go?
Usually under the brightest part of the roof and away from the main walkway to the garden. We test two or three layouts on the plan before deciding.
How much does a kitchen extension cost?
For the extension itself our guide range is about £1,550 to £3,010 per m² including VAT. A standard 20 m² kitchen extension is typically around £36,000 to £46,000 in Larne, plus the kitchen itself, which commonly adds £9,000 to £20,000 for a mid-range design.
