County Tyrone
Knocking through to a rear extension in County Tyrone
Steel beams, padstones and props to open the back of the house safely. We design and build rear extensions across County Tyrone, from Omagh and Strabane to Dungannon, covering single-storey kitchen extensions, two-storey additions, side returns and wraparounds.
Older houses in County Tyrone often have solid brick back walls carrying a lot of weight, so the steel design comes early. County Tyrone has terraces near the centre, semis on the edges and many detached houses and bungalows in the surrounding countryside, where plots are often generous.
What does it cost in County Tyrone?
As a guide, £3,500–£9,000 including VAT. These are guide ranges; the written quote after the survey is the figure that counts.

FAQ
Questions people ask
Can the whole back wall come out?
Often, with a beam across the full width or a goalpost frame. Some walls need a short pier left at the ends.
Do I need building control for a beam?
Yes. The calculations and the installed steel are checked.
How long does it take?
The wall itself usually comes out in a day or two, timed for when the extension is weathertight.
