Working in Sheffield
Site visits are available across Sheffield (S1, S2, S3, S4, S7, S10). Neighbouring towns we cover include Rotherham (6 miles), Rawmarsh (7 miles), Dinnington (11 miles), Barnsley (12 miles).
Homes across Yorkshire and the Humber range from back-to-back and through terraces to large suburban semis, and extension options vary with them.
Included in a typical project

- Structural survey before any upward extension
- Level thresholds and accessible layouts
- Planning application where needed
- Roof designs that tie into the existing hipped or gable roof
Will the council need to approve it?
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 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.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).

Common questions in Sheffield
Do I need building regulations approval in Sheffield?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
Do you cover all of Sheffield?
Yes. We cover Sheffield and the surrounding parts of South Yorkshire. 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 Sheffield, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
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 £1,640 to £3,200 per m² including VAT. Going upwards is priced after a structural survey.
