FENNOR / EXTENSIONS
Make the home you love work better for the way you live now. Fennor helps you plan an extension around the rooms you use, the garden you enjoy and the space you are missing.
AN ARCHITECTURAL CONVERSATION
Try three starting points, then bring your preferred direction to Fennor. We turn it into a property-specific brief and explain the design and planning work needed next. The drawings below are not to scale.
Illustrative options, not completed Fennor projects. Your site survey helps establish the practical choices.
If the house feels cramped, Fennor first looks at how the existing rooms connect. We develop the brief around the space you need, then explain whether an internal replan deserves assessment alongside an extension. Structural and regulatory checks can still apply.
THE MOST IMPORTANT LINE IN THE DRAWING
The connection affects how your whole home feels. Matching floor levels, a comfortable route between rooms and a considered relationship with the garden can make an extension feel like it has always belonged.
Fennor shows you which parts of the existing house are affected, how access changes during the work and where making good is included. The appointed designers resolve the structural and weatherproofing connection before it becomes agreed construction work.
FOUR THINGS TO TEST TOGETHER
YOUR PROJECT WITH FENNOR
We explain the choices, the work involved and what happens next, so you can decide with a clearer picture.
A brighter kitchen or family room needs to improve the space around it too. We work through movement, views and privacy, with the design balancing daylight, summer comfort and heat loss for the existing and new rooms.
Foundations, drainage, structure and services can all change where old meets new. We identify the investigations needed and explain how the house will be protected during construction, including the implications if you want to stay at home.
We review the drawings, any previous extensions and the planning position with you. Small does not automatically mean exempt. The relevant professional or planning authority establishes the route, and we explain the remaining steps before pricing the agreed work.

Means-tested local-authority support for necessary adaptations that help a person with a disability live at home. Not a grant for a cosmetic bathroom or kitchen makeover.
Grant support
Up to €4,000
Support depends on your dwelling type, the existing windows and the home’s insulation performance—not just the specification of the new glass.
Grant support
Up to €1,600
€800 per eligible external replacement door, up to two doors, subject to the property and performance requirements.
USEFUL ANSWERS
Plain language. No pressure to have it all figured out.
Sometimes. We explain whether safe access, separation and temporary services can be maintained for your project. The stage where the extension joins the house needs particular planning, which we work through with you in advance.
Yes. We bring roof layout, shading, cable routes and electrical needs into the planning conversation early. That creates a useful starting point for the solar assessment without assuming a particular system will fit.
