Covering Royton
We cover Royton and the postcode districts OL1, OL2, OL9. The same team covers Chadderton (2 miles), Oldham (2 miles), Middleton (3 miles), Rochdale (4 miles), all within easy reach.
Rawtenstall, in Lancashire, is roughly 11 miles from Royton and also on our list. Across the North West, terraced houses with small rear yards suit compact rear and side return extensions, while suburban semis have room for more.
Planning rules that apply in Royton
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).

Is a bedroom extension right for your house?
- Multi-generational households
- Homeowners who want an en-suite master bedroom
- Growing families
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.

Questions people ask about bedroom extensions
How long does a bedroom extension take to build in Royton?
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 Royton?
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.
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Royton, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
How much does a bedroom extension cost?
Our guide range is about £1,520 to £3,040 per m² including VAT. A bedroom with an en-suite of about 18 m² is typically £32,000 to £42,000 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.
