- Structure, roof, insulation and finish
- Heating extended to the new rooms
- Planning drawings and application
- 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 Wisbech
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.
Before any drawing is finalised we check whether the house is listed, in a conservation area or subject to an Article 4 direction.
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.
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.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).
Working in Wisbech
Across PE13, we can visit, measure and advise. The same team covers March (8 miles), Peterborough (18 miles), Ely (19 miles), Huntingdon (27 miles), all within easy reach.
The East of England mixes market-town terraces, inter-war semis and modern estates. Clay soils are common in parts of the region, which can affect foundation design.

Bedroom extension questions answered
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Wisbech, 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 Wisbech?
Yes. We cover Wisbech and the surrounding parts of Cambridgeshire. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
How long does a bedroom extension take to build in Wisbech?
On site, typically 14 to 22 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 8–14 weeks design and approvals.
How much does a bedroom extension cost?
Our guide range is about £1,700 to £3,390 per m² including VAT. A bedroom with an en-suite of about 18 m² is typically £36,000 to £47,000 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.
