We put a fixed price in writing once the design is agreed, and explain any provisional sums such as foundations.
Do you need planning permission for a bungalow rear extension in Yate?
Here is how the rules in England apply to a bungalow rear extension in Yate.
In England a single-storey rear extension can often be built under permitted development: up to 3 metres beyond the original rear wall of an attached house, or 4 metres on a detached house, no higher than 4 metres, with eaves no higher than 3 metres if any part is within 2 metres of a boundary.
England also has the larger home extension route: a single-storey rear extension of up to 6 metres on an attached house or 8 metres on a detached house, after prior approval from the council. The council notifies your neighbours and has 42 days to decide; the fee is £249 (£310 for applications made from 8 December 2026). The route is not available on designated land such as conservation areas.
Conservation areas, National Parks, National Landscapes and the Broads restrict permitted development, and listed buildings always need listed building consent. We check your house's planning history and any conservation area before drawing, so the route is clear before you spend on plans.
What are homes in Yate like to extend?
Yate has Victorian terraces nearer the centre and post-war semis on the edges. Sloping gardens are frequent, which affects floor levels and steps down to the patio.

FAQ
Bungalow rear extension questions in Yate
Do you handle building control in Yate?
Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.
Is the site visit in Yate free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
Will the roof look odd?
Not if the pitch and tiles match. Where the eaves are low, a flat-roofed section with a lantern is an alternative.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Yate house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
What postcode areas do you cover around Yate?
Including BS37, and the surrounding Bristol and South Gloucestershire area.
Can I get a price without a visit?
Our online guide-price tool gives a range in a couple of minutes. A written price needs a survey.
