Covering Pontypool
Across NP4, we can visit, measure and advise. We also work in nearby Cwmbran (3 miles), Newport, Gwent (8 miles), Ebbw Vale (9 miles), Abergavenny (9 miles).
Risca, in Mid Glamorgan, is roughly 7 miles from Pontypool and also on our list. In Wales, terraced houses with rear offshoots are common in the towns, while detached houses and bungalows dominate in rural areas.

Will the council need to approve it?
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 over or within 3 m of a public sewer needs the water company's consent before the foundations go in.
The Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies in Wales as in England: notice must be served before work to a shared wall, building on the boundary, or excavating close to a neighbour's foundations.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your county or county borough council, or the national park authority).
Included in a typical project
- Level thresholds and accessible layouts
- Single-storey extension options assessed first
- Planning application where needed
- Structural survey before any upward extension
- Roof designs that tie into the existing hipped or gable roof
Our process, step by step
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
A designer visits, takes measurements and photos, and discusses layouts, budget and timing with you.
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
Work is carried out to the agreed programme, inspected by building control and signed off at the end.
Your questions about a bungalow extension in Pontypool
Do I need building regulations approval in Pontypool?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
Will my neighbours in Pontypool 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.
Who do I contract with for a bungalow extension in Pontypool?
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.
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.
