Extensions in and around Bridgend
Site visits are available across Bridgend (CF31, CF35). Neighbouring towns we cover include Porthcawl (6 miles), Maesteg (8 miles), Tonypandy (10 miles), Rhondda (12 miles).
Cowbridge, in South Glamorgan, is roughly 6 miles from Bridgend and also on our list. Welsh housing ranges from stone terraces in the valleys to render-and-slate houses and modern estates, and the Welsh planning rules differ from England's in several places.
What we take care of
- Level thresholds and accessible layouts
- Roof designs that tie into the existing hipped or gable roof
- Single-storey extension options assessed first
- Structural survey before any upward extension

Planning rules that apply in Bridgend
In Wales single-storey bungalow extensions follow the normal limits (up to 4 m at the rear); adding a storey needs planning permission.
Homes in conservation areas, national parks, National Landscapes (AONBs) and World Heritage Sites have tighter rules, so we always check the property's status and planning history before design starts.
Building regulations approval is separate from planning. Wales has its own building regulations and approved documents; the council or a registered building control approver checks the plans, inspects the work and issues a completion certificate.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your county or county borough council, or the national park authority).
What happens next
Site visits are free and there is no obligation. Where drawings are needed, the design stage is priced in writing before it starts.

Build and sign-off

Common questions in Bridgend
Who do I contract with for a bungalow extension in Bridgend?
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.
Will my neighbours in Bridgend be involved?
If a planning application 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 Bridgend?
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 £1,630 to £3,160 per m² including VAT. Going upwards is priced after a structural survey.
