Terraced house rear extension in Haydock

We plan and build rear extensions for terraced houses for homeowners in Haydock. Rear and side return extensions for terraces, with access through the house and two neighbours. Start with a free site visit, then a written price once the design is agreed.

Haydock sits in Merseyside, with postcode districts including WA9, WA11 and WA12. On a Haydock terrace both neighbours usually need party wall notices or agreement, so we talk to them early.

Do you need planning permission for a terraced house rear extension in Haydock?

Whether your terraced house rear extension in Haydock needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.

Under England's householder permitted development rules you can usually add 3 metres at the back of an attached house, or 4 metres on a detached house, without a planning application, as long as the extension stays under 4 metres high and its eaves stay under 3 metres where it is within 2 metres of a boundary.

The Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies in England: you serve notice two months before work to a shared wall, and one month before digging foundations within 3 metres (or 6 metres for deeper foundations) of a neighbour's building. Neighbours can agree in writing; if they dissent, surveyors agree an award.

Conservation areas, National Parks, National Landscapes and the Broads restrict permitted development, and listed buildings always 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 Haydock like to extend?

Stone and brick terraces are common around Haydock. Where houses back onto a ginnel or alley, deliveries can come in from the rear, which makes the build tidier.

Terraced house rear extension questions in Haydock

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.

How long does a rear extension take to build in Haydock?

Most single-storey rear extensions take 10 to 16 weeks on site and two-storey extensions 16 to 26 weeks, after design and approvals.

Can you build without side access?

Yes. Materials come through the house in protected runs or over the roof by crane on tight sites.

Do you handle building control in Haydock?

Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.

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.

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.
