Your written price follows a measured survey and an agreed design, so it reflects your house, not an average.
Do you need planning permission for a kitchen-diner rear extension in Pontypool?
The planning route for a kitchen-diner 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. Before any drawing we look up the property's history with the council, because earlier extensions and removed rights change the answer.
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
Kitchen-diner 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.
What postcode areas do you cover around Pontypool?
Including NP4 and NP44, and the surrounding South Wales Valleys area.
Can I add a utility room?
Often. A narrow utility or boot room along one side keeps the washing machine out of the open-plan space.
Can I live at home while the extension is built?
Usually yes. Most of the work is outside until the back wall is opened near the end, and that stage is screened off.
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.
Who will build my extension?
Vetted building teams working under contract to us. Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd for the design and the build.
