Single-storey rear extension in Enniskillen: ground-floor space across the back of the house, usually for a kitchen, dining or family room. We measure the house, show you what the rules allow, price it in writing and build it.
We cover Enniskillen (BT74) as part of our County Fermanagh work. A single-storey rear extension in Enniskillen is mostly built from the garden side, so the house stays usable for most of the job.

Do you need planning permission for a single-storey rear extension in Enniskillen?
Planning for a single-storey rear extension in Enniskillen follows the Northern Irish householder rules.
In Northern Ireland the Planning (General Permitted Development) Order (Northern Ireland) 2015 allows a single-storey rear extension of up to 3 metres on an attached house or 4 metres on a detached house, no higher than 4 metres, with eaves no higher than 3 metres within 2 metres of a boundary. Building control approval from the council is still required.
Northern Ireland has no larger-extension prior approval route; anything beyond permitted development needs a planning application.
Conservation areas, Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty and listed buildings restrict permitted development in Northern Ireland. Before any drawing we look up the property's history with the council, because earlier extensions and removed rights change the answer.
What are homes in Enniskillen like to extend?
Enniskillen has terraces near the centre, semis on the edges and many detached houses and bungalows in the surrounding countryside, where plots are often generous.

FAQ
Single-storey rear extension questions in Enniskillen
Can I get a price without a visit?
Our online guide-price tool gives a range in a couple of minutes. A written price needs a survey.
Can I live at home while the extension is built?
Usually yes. Most of the work is outside until the back wall is opened near the end, and that stage is screened off.
Do I need a structural engineer?
Yes for the beam over the new opening and usually for the foundations. Their calculations go to building control with the drawings.
Who will build my extension?
Vetted building teams working under contract to us. Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd for the design and the build.
