We cover Tipton and the postcode districts B69, DY1, DY2, DY3, DY4, WV14. Neighbouring towns we cover include Dudley (2 miles), Wednesbury (2 miles), West Bromwich (3 miles), Willenhall (4 miles).
Great Wyrley, in Staffordshire, is roughly 10 miles from Tipton and also on our list. The West Midlands has a large stock of 1930s and post-war semi-detached houses, which are well suited to rear, side and over-garage extensions, plus Victorian terraces in the older inner areas.

What we take care of
- Structure, roof, insulation and finish
- Heating extended to the new rooms
- Layout options: two-storey, over-garage or ground floor
- En-suite drainage and ventilation design
- Fire safety: escape windows and smoke alarms to building regulations
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.
Planning and approvals in Tipton
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 Tipton address depends on its history and any designations, which is why we check it at the first visit.
Building regulations approval is separate from planning. In England you can use the council's building control team or a registered building control approver; a full plans application gets the drawings checked before work starts, and the inspector signs the work off with a completion certificate.
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).
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.
Free site visit
A designer visits, takes measurements and photos, and discusses layouts, budget and timing with you.
Design and approvals
We draw the design, agree it with you and handle planning or permitted development checks and building regulations.
Fixed written price
The price is fixed in writing once the design is settled, with a clear programme and payment stages.
Build and sign-off
Our team builds the extension, keeps you updated weekly and finishes with building control sign-off.

On site, typically 14 to 22 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 8–14 weeks design and approvals.

Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
Will a new bedroom need planning permission?
Upstairs additions usually do. Ground-floor rooms may fall within permitted development, depending on size and position.
