Local to Earley
Our survey diary covers Earley, including RG2, RG5, RG6. We also work in nearby Reading (3 miles), Wokingham (4 miles), Crowthorne (7 miles), Bracknell (7 miles).
Just over the Hampshire border, Yateley is about 7 miles away. The South East has a broad mix of 1930s semis, post-war estates, newer developments and period cottages, and many houses have enough garden for a generous rear extension.
Planning rules that apply in Earley
In England a two-storey rear extension is permitted development only if it projects no more than 3 m from the original rear wall, sits at least 7 m from the rear boundary, matches the roof pitch and uses obscure, non-opening side windows upstairs. Most two-storey extensions therefore go through a householder planning application, which costs £548 from 1 April 2026 and normally takes about 8 weeks.
The planning position for a specific Earley address depends on its history and any designations, which is why we check it at the first visit.
Building over or within 3 m of a public sewer needs the water company's consent, usually through a build-over agreement, before the foundations go in.
If the work involves a shared wall, building on the boundary, or digging foundations within 3 m (sometimes 6 m) of a neighbour's building, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies and notice must be served before work starts: two months for work to a party wall, one month for new walls on the boundary and for excavations.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).
What we take care of
- Planning drawings and application
- Heating extended to the new rooms
- Structure, roof, insulation and finish
- En-suite drainage and ventilation design
- Layout options: two-storey, over-garage or ground floor
New bedrooms on an upper floor need an escape window or a protected route to the outside under the building regulations. We design the window sizes and stair route to meet that from the outset.
From first visit to completion
Site visits are free and there is no obligation. Where drawings are needed, the design stage is priced in writing before it starts.

Build and sign-off
Our team builds the extension, keeps you updated weekly and finishes with building control sign-off.
Bedroom extension questions answered
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Earley, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
Do you cover all of Earley?
Yes. We cover Earley and the surrounding parts of Berkshire. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Who do I contract with for a bedroom extension in Earley?
Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which designs and manages the project and the build teams who carry it out.
Will a new bedroom need planning permission?
Upstairs additions usually do. Ground-floor rooms may fall within permitted development, depending on size and position.
Does an en-suite need a window?
No, but it needs mechanical extraction that meets the building regulations. We design the duct route at the drawing stage.
