Single-storey rear extensions in County Tyrone
Ground-floor space across the back of the house, usually for a kitchen, dining or family room. 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.
A single-storey rear extension in Omagh is mostly built from the garden side, so the house stays usable for most of the job. 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.
How much does a single-storey rear extension cost in County Tyrone?
A single-storey rear extension in County Tyrone is priced at £1,650–£2,700 per square metre including VAT as a guide, before kitchen fit-out and fees. Northern Ireland prices are the lowest in our range.

Do you need planning permission in County Tyrone?
Northern Ireland's permitted development rules allow a single-storey rear extension of 3 metres on terraced and semi-detached houses and 4 metres on detached houses, with a 4 metre height limit. Listed buildings, conservation areas and houses with removed rights need planning permission from the council.
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.

FAQ
Questions people ask
Is a flat roof or a pitched roof better?
A warm flat roof keeps the extension low under first-floor windows and suits a roof lantern; a pitched or lean-to roof gives a vaulted ceiling. Both last for decades when built properly.
Can I stay in the house during the build?
Usually yes. The noisiest, dustiest stage, removing the back wall, is kept to the final weeks and screened off. Most families set up a temporary kitchen elsewhere in the house.
Will the extension make the room behind it dark?
Not if it is designed well. Rooflights or a lantern over the old back room, and a wide opening into it, keep daylight reaching the middle of the house.
Do you cover all of County Tyrone?
We cover 6 towns and districts in County Tyrone, including Omagh, Strabane and Dungannon.
