Wraparound extension in Portadown
Wraparound extension in Portadown: an L-shaped extension that fills the side return and runs across the back. We measure the house, show you what the rules allow, price it in writing and build it.
We cover Portadown (BT62) as part of our County Armagh work. Wraparounds are the natural next step for the end-of-terrace and Victorian houses in County Armagh where a side return alone would leave the room too narrow.

Do you need planning permission for a wraparound extension in Portadown?
Whether your wraparound extension in Portadown needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.
In Northern Ireland side extensions that face a road, or go beyond permitted development limits, need planning permission from the council, and most wraparounds go through a planning application.
Northern Ireland has no Party Wall Act. Shared-wall work relies on agreement with your neighbour and the general law, so we put access and protection arrangements in writing before starting.
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 Portadown like to extend?
Portadown has terraces near the centre, semis on the edges and many detached houses and bungalows in the surrounding countryside, where plots are often generous.
