Bungalow rear extension in Pontypool
We plan and build rear extensions for bungalows for homeowners in Pontypool. Single-storey rear extensions that keep everything on one level. Start with a free site visit, then a written price once the design is agreed.
Pontypool is covered from our South Wales Valleys round, including NP4 and NP44. For Pontypool bungalows we design the roof first, because the low eaves decide the height of the new room.

Do you need planning permission for a bungalow rear extension in Pontypool?
The planning route for a bungalow rear extension in Pontypool is set by Wales's householder rules and your council.
The Welsh Government's householder rules let many homes add a single-storey rear extension up to 4 metres deep and 4 metres high without a planning application. Deeper projects go through a householder application, because Wales has no prior approval route.
Conservation areas, National Parks and National Landscapes restrict permitted development in Wales, and listed buildings 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 Pontypool like to extend?
Pontypool is largely terraced streets on sloping ground, where back gardens step up or down from the house. Excavation, retaining walls and drainage are priced at the survey.

FAQ
Bungalow rear extension questions in Pontypool
Will I need a structural engineer?
Yes for the beam over the new opening and usually the foundations; we arrange them and their calculations go to building control.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Pontypool house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
Do I need to move out?
Rarely; the opening into the bungalow is made late in the build.
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.
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Pontypool?
Often not for a single-storey rear extension of up to 4 metres under Welsh permitted development. Wales has no prior approval route for deeper extensions.
Do I need a party wall agreement?
In Wales, usually yes if the extension is on or near a shared boundary or close to a neighbour's foundations. We serve the notices.
