When a wraparound extension makes sense
- Terraced houses that want the largest ground floor possible
- Families who want kitchen, dining and living in one space
- Semi-detached houses with a side passage
The corner is where wraparounds succeed or fail. We usually use a single steel goalpost or a corner post hidden in a pier, and set the glazing so the new room reads as one space rather than two boxes.
Local to Armagh
Postcode districts we cover around Armagh include BT61. Nearby, we also take on projects in Portadown (8 miles), Craigavon (11 miles).
For homes towards County Down, Banbridge is around 14 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.
Planning rules that apply in Armagh
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.
In a conservation area or area of townscape character the permitted development rights are more limited, listed homes need listed building consent, and if rights have been removed by a condition, any extension needs an application.
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.
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.

Your questions about a wraparound extension in Armagh
How long does a wraparound extension take to build in Armagh?
On site, typically 14 to 20 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 8–16 weeks design and approvals.
Who do I contract with for a wraparound extension in Armagh?
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 Armagh?
Yes. We cover Armagh and the surrounding parts of County Armagh. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Is a wraparound better than a side return alone?
It adds far more space, but costs more and needs planning permission more often. Our comparison guide sets the two side by side.
How much does a wraparound extension cost?
Our guide range is about £1,720 to £3,180 per m² including VAT. A 25 m² standard-spec wraparound typically lands around £49,000 to £62,500 in Armagh before design and council fees.
