What we take care of
- Layout options: two-storey, over-garage or ground floor
- Fire safety: escape windows and smoke alarms to building regulations
- Planning drawings and application
- Heating extended to the new rooms
- En-suite drainage and ventilation design
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.
Extensions in and around Jarrow
Postcode districts we cover around Jarrow include NE28, NE29, NE31, NE32, NE33, NE35. Neighbouring towns we cover include Hebburn (1 mile), Wallsend (2 miles), South Shields (2 miles), North Shields (3 miles).
Across the North East, houses often have rear yards or modest gardens, so compact, well-lit single-storey extensions make the biggest difference.
Do I need planning permission in Jarrow?
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.
Homes in conservation areas, national parks, National Landscapes (formerly AONBs), the Broads and World Heritage Sites have tighter rules, so we always check the property's status and planning history before design starts.
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).

Common questions in Jarrow
How long does a bedroom extension take to build in Jarrow?
On site, typically 14 to 22 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 8–14 weeks design and approvals.
Who do I contract with for a bedroom extension in Jarrow?
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.
Do I need building regulations approval in Jarrow?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
How much does a bedroom extension cost?
Our guide range is about £1,460 to £2,910 per m² including VAT. A bedroom with an en-suite of about 18 m² is typically £31,000 to £40,500 at standard spec, depending on whether it is part of a larger two-storey build.
Can I add a ground-floor bedroom for a relative?
Yes. A ground-floor bedroom with an accessible shower room is a common request. If it will be lived in as a self-contained home, planning treats it differently, so tell us how it will be used.
