Single-storey extensions in Rowley Regis

Planning your single-storey extension in Rowley Regis

In Rowley Regis, Sandwell Council decides planning questions. We check permitted development limits and any local restrictions at the survey, then deal with the Building Regulations side so you receive a completion certificate when the work is signed off.

Detached houses get a little more room: 4 metres as standard, or up to 8 metres with prior approval.
Wide glazed doors and roof lights make the biggest difference to how bright the new room feels, and to the final price.
Foundations within 3 metres of a neighbour's house that go deeper than theirs need party wall notice at least a month in advance.

Which options suit homes in Rowley Regis?

Wrap-around extension

Combines a side and rear extension into an L shape, giving the largest ground-floor gain. Because it extends both sideways and rearwards, a wrap-around normally needs a householder planning application rather than relying on permitted development. Expect more steelwork and a more involved roof where the two sections meet.

Flat roof or pitched roof

Flat roofs, usually GRP fibreglass or EPDM rubber, keep the height down near boundaries and suit roof lanterns. Pitched or lean-to roofs with tiles to match the house look more traditional and shed rain faster, but need more height. The choice affects permitted development limits, cost, and how much light reaches the existing rooms.

Single-storey extensions prices in Rowley Regis

Expect to budget between £28,000 and £90,000 depending on size and specification in Rowley Regis. A 4 m × 5 m rear extension on a semi, with roof lights and bifold doors: typically £40,000–£52,000.

Questions about single-storey extensions in Rowley Regis

What guarantees come with the extension?

Windows, doors, roof lights and roofing membranes come with manufacturers' guarantees, and the terms for each product are set out in your quote. Building control's completion certificate confirms the work met Building Regulations when inspected. If anything in our workmanship isn't right after handover, call us and we'll come back and look at it. Ask us for current insurance details with your quote.

Which postcodes in Rowley Regis do you work in?

We cover B64, B65 and the streets around them. If you're on the edge of Rowley Regis, neighbouring Quinton and Oldbury are covered too.

Do I need to tell my neighbours about an extension?

You don't need their permission for permitted development, but you will usually need to involve them. Under the prior approval route the council writes to adjoining neighbours and gives them 21 days to comment. If the build is on the boundary or the foundations are deep and close to their house, the Party Wall Act requires formal written notice. A friendly conversation before any notice arrives usually makes everything smoother.

Who approves single-storey extensions in Rowley Regis?

Usually building control, and sometimes planning. Sandwell Council is the planning authority for Rowley Regis; Building Regulations approval comes from its building control team or a registered building control approver. We'll tell you which applies after the survey.
