Working in Newtownabbey
Our survey diary covers Newtownabbey, including BT3, BT14, BT15, BT36, BT37. We also work in nearby Belfast (4 miles), Carrickfergus (6 miles), Castlereagh (6 miles), Lisburn (11 miles).
For homes towards County Down, Bangor, County Down is around 10 miles away. In Northern Ireland, extension projects follow the NI planning rules and council building control, which we account for from the first survey.
Planning rules that apply in Newtownabbey
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.
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.

Questions people ask about orangery extensions
Who do I contract with for an orangery extension in Newtownabbey?
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 Newtownabbey?
Yes. We cover Newtownabbey and the surrounding parts of County Antrim. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
How long does an orangery extension take to build in Newtownabbey?
On site, typically 10 to 16 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 6–12 weeks design and approvals.
Will an orangery be too hot in summer?
Not if it is designed with solar-control glass, a solid perimeter and ventilation. We size the lantern and opening vents with that in mind.
What is the difference between an orangery and a conservatory?
An orangery has a solid roof perimeter with a central lantern and more solid wall, so it is warmer and more like a room. A conservatory is mostly glass. Building regulations treat a heated orangery joined to the house as an extension.
