Covering Farnborough
Our survey diary covers Farnborough, including GU11, GU14, GU17. We also work in nearby Aldershot (3 miles), Fleet (3 miles), Yateley (5 miles), Bordon (13 miles).
Camberley, in Surrey, is roughly 3 miles from Farnborough and also on our list. In the South East, plenty of houses have already been extended once, which makes checking the remaining permitted development allowance an important early step.
Planning rules that apply in Farnborough
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.
Homes in conservation areas, national parks, National Landscapes (formerly AONBs), the Broads and World Heritage Sites have tighter rules, so we always check the property's status and planning history before design starts.
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.
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).

Is a bungalow extension right for your house?
- Families wanting more space on one floor
- Homeowners planning for later life
- Bungalows on larger plots
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.

Common questions in Farnborough
Who do I contract with for a bungalow extension in Farnborough?
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.
Do you cover all of Farnborough?
Yes. We cover Farnborough and the surrounding parts of Hampshire. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Farnborough, 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 bungalow extension cost?
Our guide range for single-storey work is about £1,960 to £3,810 per m² including VAT. Going upwards is priced after a structural survey.
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.
