Wraparound extension in Armagh
An L-shaped extension that fills the side return and runs across the back. We design, get the approvals for and build wraparound extensions in Armagh and the surrounding area, with one contract from the first survey to building control sign-off.
Armagh sits in County Armagh, with postcode districts including BT61. In Armagh we usually draw the wraparound and a simpler rear-only option side by side, so the planning risk and cost difference are clear.

Do you need planning permission for a wraparound extension in Armagh?
Here is how the rules in Northern Ireland apply to a wraparound extension in Armagh.
Northern Ireland's rules restrict side extensions more than rear ones, so a side infill or wraparound usually needs a planning application to the council as well as building control approval.
There is no Party Wall Act in Northern Ireland; we agree any work affecting a shared wall or boundary directly with the neighbour, in writing.
Conservation areas, Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty and listed buildings restrict permitted development in Northern Ireland. At the first visit we measure what is there now and tell you which route fits: permitted development or a planning application.
What are homes in Armagh like to extend?
Semis and detached houses are typical of Armagh, and many have room for a rear extension within Northern Ireland's permitted development limits.

FAQ
Wraparound extension questions in Armagh
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Armagh?
Often not for a single-storey rear extension of up to 3 metres (4 metres detached) under Northern Ireland's permitted development rules, outside conservation areas.
Is the site visit in Armagh free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
How long does a wraparound take?
Usually 14 to 20 weeks on site, longer than a plain rear extension because of the steelwork.

Northern Ireland has no Party Wall Act; we agree any shared-wall work with your neighbour in writing.
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 you match the brick or stone on my Armagh house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
