Richard started his career in joinery and building during the 2008 recession, working with a local kitchen company. He remains grateful for that initial opportunity and has maintained close ties with the company ever since.
For many years, his main focus was supplying and installing kitchens. However, he has consistently refined his skills in all areas of joinery and building, as you can see throughout this site. Recently, he has broadened his services to include a variety of domestic building projects, demonstrating his adaptability in serving a wider range of clients.
If you are in North Down, Ards or East Belfast, feel free to contact Richard to talk about your upcoming joinery or building project, or the design, supply and installation of your new kitchen.

Some changes to the internal structure of your property and some small extensions do not need planning permission, however the best rule of thumb is check with your local planning office

Ards and North Down Planning
Belfast City Council have a good web page that gives examples of when you need and don't need Planning Permission. It includes good graphical examples showing various extensions and other structural changes. Search this planning document for "Permitted Development". The same rules apply to all NI Council areas.
Compared to planning approval, many more building modifications require Building Control approval
As it says on the NI Building control portal FAQ page — "if in doubt" ask your local building control officer.
