Towns in Lincolnshire
Included in a typical project
- Structural survey before any upward extension
- Planning application where needed
- Single-storey extension options assessed first
- Roof designs that tie into the existing hipped or gable roof
- Level thresholds and accessible layouts
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.

Planning rules that apply in Lincolnshire
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.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).
Covering Lincolnshire
Towns we cover in Lincolnshire include Lincoln, Grimsby, Scunthorpe, Boston, Grantham, Cleethorpes, Spalding, Skegness. Homes across the East Midlands often have usable side land or a driveway beside the house, which opens up side and wraparound options.
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
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
With the design and specification agreed, you get a fixed written price and a start date.
Build and sign-off
Work is carried out to the agreed programme, inspected by building control and signed off at the end.
Questions people ask about bungalow extensions
Do I need building regulations approval in Lincolnshire?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
How long does a bungalow extension take to build in Lincolnshire?
On site, typically 10 to 18 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 6–14 weeks design and approvals.
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Lincolnshire, 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 £1,660 to £3,230 per m² including VAT. Going upwards is priced after a structural survey.
Can I extend a bungalow without planning permission?
In England a single-storey rear extension to a bungalow follows the same permitted development limits as a house: 3 m or 4 m, or up to 6 m or 8 m through prior approval. Adding a storey always needs planning permission.
