Building rules in Craigavon
Building control in Craigavon is run by Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council. Beams and new openings are controlled work under the Northern Ireland regulations, so we apply before anything is removed and the steel is inspected before it is covered.
The Party Wall etc. Act does not extend to Northern Ireland. Shared walls are dealt with under your title and the general law, so we recommend agreeing access and the work with your neighbour before it starts.
Steel beams in Craigavon: questions
What happens at the survey visit in Craigavon?
We look at the wall, the floor and ceiling either side and what sits above, measure the opening you want, and note cables, pipes and access for the steel. It usually takes under an hour and there is no charge.
Can I stay at home while the work is done in Craigavon?
Usually, yes. The work area is screened and floors are protected. The rooms either side of the opening are out of action for a few days, and there is some noise and dust while the masonry comes out.

Yes. We also cover nearby towns including Portadown, Banbridge, Lisburn and Dungannon.
