Professional House Extension Services in Leitrim
When your home no longer meets the demands of everyday life, a well-planned house extension is one of the most practical and rewarding investments you can make. At All Task Roofing & Building, we deliver complete extension services for homeowners throughout County Leitrim from compact single-storey additions to substantial double-storey builds.
We work with both modern and traditional properties, tailoring each project to complement the existing structure while delivering the additional space you need. Our team manages everything in-house: structural planning, groundworks, masonry, roofing, insulation, and finishing ensuring a seamless process with no gaps in responsibility.
Every extension we build meets current Irish building regulations, and where planning permission is required, we guide clients through the process clearly and honestly. We do not subcontract core work to unknown third parties. The team you meet at consultation is the team that builds your extension.
Our approach is grounded in transparent communication, quality materials and attention to detail. We take time to understand your goals, the layout of your property and any site-specific considerations before a single brick is laid.

- Additional living space designed to your specific requirements and integrated with your existing floor plan
- Seamless property integration ensuring the extension matches the character and appearance of your existing home
- High-quality construction using durable materials that meet Irish building standards and withstand the local climate

Scope of Services
All Task Roofing & Building manages house extension projects from the planning stage right through to practical completion. We carry out initial site assessments, advise on planning permission and building regulation requirements, coordinate structural designs where needed, and deliver the full construction works including groundworks, masonry, structural steelwork, roofing, insulation, windows, and internal finishing. Our clients have a single point of contact throughout the entire project.
Our Approach
We take a straightforward, no-nonsense approach to every extension project. Before any work begins, we assess the site thoroughly, discuss your plans honestly and provide a clear, itemised quotation. There are no surprises, no hidden costs and no vague timelines. We build what we agree, to the standard we agree.
Quality & Safety
Every member of our construction team works to current Health & Safety guidelines, and all materials used comply with Irish building standards. We carry full public liability insurance, and our work is carried out with the care and diligence you would expect from a reputable, long-established building contractor in Leitrim.
Local Knowledge & Expertise
Working in County Leitrim means understanding local ground conditions, planning authority requirements and the architectural character of properties across the region. That local knowledge makes a practical difference from foundation design to material selection and sets All Task Roofing & Building apart from contractors with no roots in the area.
Transparent Communication
You will always know where your project stands. We provide regular updates throughout the build, flag any unforeseen issues promptly and discuss solutions before proceeding. Our clients are never left wondering what is happening on site. Clear, honest communication is central to how we work.
House Extension Services We Provide
Gutter Repairs
We offer the full range of residential extension types to suit different properties, budgets and needs across Leitrim. Whether you are looking to expand at ground level, add a full upper storey or extend into unused garden or side space, we have the experience to deliver the right solution for your home.
Single Storey House Extensions
A single-storey extension is the most popular choice for homeowners looking to add practical living space without significant structural disruption. We build single-storey extensions for a wide range of purposes from enlarged kitchens and open-plan family rooms to playrooms, home offices and utility spaces. These extensions work well on most property types, are generally more cost-effective than double-storey builds, and can transform the daily functionality of your home. Our team handles all groundworks, structural work, roofing and internal finishing as part of a fully managed project.
Double Storey House Extensions
Where maximum space is the priority, a double-storey extension delivers the greatest return. Adding two levels simultaneously is more cost-efficient per square metre than two separate single-storey builds, and the result is transformative. We design and build double-storey extensions that provide additional bedrooms, bathrooms, expanded living areas and more all while maintaining the proportions and kerb appeal of your existing property. A well-executed double-storey extension adds considerable long-term value and is a sound investment for any Leitrim homeowner.
Rear House Extensions
Rear extensions are among the most practical ways to expand a home, making use of garden space to create a larger, more functional interior. Whether the goal is an open-plan kitchen and dining area, a generous family living room or a more versatile ground-floor layout, a rear extension allows you to redesign the back of your home to suit how you actually live. We work with the natural light and garden orientation of your property to ensure the finished space feels spacious, well-connected and comfortable throughout the year.
Side House Extensions
Many homes in Leitrim have underutilised side access or awkward side passages that can be put to far better use. A side extension allows homeowners to reclaim this wasted space and convert it into a practical part of the living footprint whether as an extended hallway, a utility room, a garage, or additional living accommodation. Done well, a side extension improves both the functionality and the appearance of a property without eating into rear garden space, making it a smart and practical improvement for many house types.
Kitchen Extensions
The kitchen is the heart of most family homes, and extending it is consistently one of the highest-value improvements a homeowner can make. A kitchen extension creates the space for a proper open-plan layout, a dining area, a kitchen island or simply a room that the whole family can use comfortably at once. We manage kitchen extensions as complete builds from groundworks and structural work through to windows, roofing and the finishing that allows your kitchen fitter to come in and complete the space. We work to your timeline and coordinate with your kitchen supplier where required.
Custom Home Extensions
Not every project fits a standard template, and that suits us perfectly well. We have extensive experience delivering bespoke extension projects for properties with unusual configurations, sensitive planning requirements or highly specific client briefs. If you have a vision for your home that goes beyond a standard rear or side extension whether it is a wrap-around build, a complex multi-phase project or a carefully considered extension to a period property we will assess the feasibility honestly and build to the highest standard if we take the project on.
Is a House Extension Right for Your Property?
Most homes in County Leitrim are suitable for some form of extension, but the right approach depends on a number of factors that are worth considering before committing to a project.
Available space is the starting point. Rear and side extensions require adequate outdoor space, and your boundary lines, neighbouring structures and access routes all affect what is achievable. A site assessment will clarify your options.
Planning permission applies to some extensions and not others. Many single-storey rear extensions fall within exempted development under Irish planning law, meaning no permission is required. Double-storey builds and larger extensions generally do require planning permission from Leitrim County Council. We will advise you clearly on where your project sits and what steps are needed.
Budget and scope need to align realistically. An extension is a significant investment, and the cost varies depending on size, specification, ground conditions and site complexity. We will always provide an honest assessment of what your budget can deliver before work begins.
Long-term goals matter too. If you are planning to sell within a few years, the return on investment should factor into your decisions. If this is your long-term family home, the priority is a space that genuinely improves your quality of life. We can help you think through both.
Our House Extension Process
1.Initial Consultation
We start with a free, no-obligation consultation to understand your requirements, discuss your ideas and establish what you are hoping to achieve. This is an open conversation with no pressure and no commitments just honest, experienced advice about what is possible for your property and your budget.
2. Site Assessment
Following the initial consultation, we carry out a thorough site assessment. We review the ground conditions, the existing structure, boundary positions, access routes and any site-specific factors that will influence the design and cost of your extension. This is where we identify opportunities and flag any potential challenges early.
3. Design & Planning
With the site assessment complete, we work with you on the design and scope of the project. Where planning permission is required, we advise on the application process and can coordinate with the relevant professionals. We ensure your extension is designed to meet current building regulations before construction begins.
4. Construction Phase
Once planning and design are confirmed, construction begins to an agreed programme. We manage all trades and works on site, maintain clear communication throughout the build, and keep disruption to your daily life to a minimum. You will always know what is happening and what comes next.
5. Final Handover
Before handover, we carry out a comprehensive quality inspection to ensure the finished extension meets our standards and yours. We walk you through the completed work, address any snagging items and ensure you are fully satisfied before we consider the project complete.

FAQ
How much does a house extension cost in Leitrim?
Extension costs vary depending on size, specification, ground conditions and the level of internal finish required. There is no meaningful answer to this question without a site assessment and a detailed brief. We provide free, itemised quotations based on your specific project, so you know exactly what the work will cost before making any commitment.
Do I need planning permission for a house extension?
Not always. Many single-storey rear extensions in Ireland fall within exempted development, meaning no planning permission is required provided certain size and height thresholds are not exceeded. Double-storey extensions and larger builds generally require planning permission from Leitrim County Council. We will advise you clearly on where your project sits and what is required during the initial consultation.
How long does a house extension take?
A straightforward single-storey extension typically takes between eight and fourteen weeks from the start of construction, depending on size and specification. Double-storey builds and more complex projects take longer. We provide a clear programme at the outset and keep you updated throughout. Lead times before construction begins depend on current workload and any planning or design requirements.
Can you build single and double-storey extensions?
Yes. All Task Roofing & Building builds both single-storey and double-storey extensions across County Leitrim. We have experience with a wide range of property types, from modern estates to older rural farmhouses, and we tailor our approach to the specific requirements of each project. Both extension types are managed entirely in-house from site assessment to final handover.
Will a house extension increase property value?
In most cases, yes. A well-designed, professionally built extension that adds usable living space will increase the market value of your property. The return varies depending on the size of the extension, the local property market and the quality of the build. A poorly executed extension, however, can have the opposite effect which is why choosing a reputable, experienced contractor matters.
Do you manage the entire project?
Yes. All Task Roofing & Building provides full project management from initial consultation through to final handover. We coordinate all trades, manage the build programme, source materials and maintain clear communication throughout. You have a single point of contact for the entire project and are never left trying to coordinate between multiple contractors.
Are your builders fully insured?
Yes. All Task Roofing & Building carries full public liability insurance. We are happy to provide proof of insurance before any work begins and we would encourage every homeowner to ask for this from any building contractor they are considering. Our cover is current and our team works to current Health & Safety guidelines on every site.
