Covering Magherafelt
Postcode districts we cover around Magherafelt include BT45. Neighbouring towns we cover include Limavady (23 miles), Coleraine (26 miles), Derry/Londonderry (31 miles).
For homes towards County Tyrone, Cookstown is around 9 miles away. In Northern Ireland, extension projects follow the NI planning rules and council building control, which we account for from the first survey.
Do I need planning permission in Magherafelt?
In Northern Ireland a small porch is usually permitted development within limits on floor area, height and distance from a road; larger porches need planning permission from the council, and building control rules still apply.
The planning position for a specific Magherafelt 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.
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.

Design and approvals
We draw the design, agree it with you and handle planning or permitted development checks and building regulations.
Fixed written price
We confirm the build price in writing, based on the approved drawings and the finishes you have chosen.
Build and sign-off
The build is managed from start to finish, inspected at each stage and signed off on completion.
