Working in Bedworth
We cover Bedworth and the postcode districts CV12. Neighbouring towns we cover include Nuneaton (3 miles), Atherstone (8 miles), Kenilworth (10 miles), Rugby (11 miles).
Coventry, in West Midlands, is roughly 5 miles from Bedworth and also on our list. Across the West Midlands, brick-built semis with long gardens are common, so single-storey and two-storey rear extensions are popular choices.

When a bungalow extension makes sense
- Families wanting more space on one floor
- Bungalows on larger plots
- Homeowners planning for later life
Bungalow roofs are often hipped, which makes tying in an extension roof a careful job. We draw the roof junction early because it drives both the look and the cost.
Do I need planning permission in Bedworth?
In England a single-storey extension to a bungalow follows the normal permitted development limits (3 m or 4 m, or 6 m and 8 m through prior approval). Adding a first floor always needs planning permission.
The planning position for a specific Bedworth 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.
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.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).
How the project works
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
We draw the design, agree it with you and handle planning or permitted development checks and building regulations.
Fixed written price
With the design and specification agreed, you get a fixed written price and a start date.
Build and sign-off
Our team builds the extension, keeps you updated weekly and finishes with building control sign-off.
Questions people ask about bungalow extensions
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Bedworth, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
Will my neighbours in Bedworth be involved?
If a planning application or prior approval is needed, the council notifies neighbours. If the work is on or near a shared boundary, party wall notices may also be needed.
Do I need building regulations approval in Bedworth?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
Is it better to extend sideways or upwards?
Sideways and rearwards is usually simpler, cheaper and keeps single-level living. Upwards saves garden but means stairs, more structure and planning permission.
How much does a bungalow extension cost?
Our guide range for single-storey work is about £1,700 to £3,300 per m² including VAT. Going upwards is priced after a structural survey.
