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.
Planning and approvals in Wallsend
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 Wallsend 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).

Working in Wallsend
Site visits are available across Wallsend (NE6, NE7, NE12, NE28, NE31, NE32). We also work in nearby Hebburn (1 mile), Jarrow (2 miles), Felling (3 miles), Gosforth (3 miles).
Cramlington, in Northumberland, is roughly 7 miles from Wallsend and also on our list. The North East has many brick terraces, colliery-era housing and post-war semis, with rear extensions and kitchen extensions the most common requests.
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
First, a site visit: we look at the house, garden, access and drains and listen to what you need.
Design and approvals
Once the layout is agreed, we deal with the council: planning permission or written confirmation that none is needed, plus building control.
Fixed written price
We confirm the build price in writing, based on the approved drawings and the finishes you have chosen.
Build and sign-off
The build is managed from start to finish, inspected at each stage and signed off on completion.
Questions people ask about bedroom extensions
Do you cover all of Wallsend?
Yes. We cover Wallsend and the surrounding parts of Tyne and Wear. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Do I need building regulations approval in Wallsend?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Wallsend, 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 £1,460 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.
Will a new bedroom need planning permission?
Upstairs additions usually do. Ground-floor rooms may fall within permitted development, depending on size and position.
