Working in Tipton
Postcode districts we cover around Tipton include B69, DY1, DY2, DY3, DY4, WV14. We also work in nearby Dudley (2 miles), Wednesbury (2 miles), West Bromwich (3 miles), Willenhall (4 miles).
For homes towards Staffordshire, Great Wyrley is around 10 miles away. Across the West Midlands, brick-built semis with long gardens are common, so single-storey and two-storey rear extensions are popular choices.
Planning rules that apply in Tipton
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.
Before any drawing is finalised we check whether the house is listed, in a conservation area or subject to an Article 4 direction.
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.
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).
What is included
- Roof designs that tie into the existing hipped or gable roof
- Structural survey before any upward extension
- Single-storey extension options assessed first
- Level thresholds and accessible layouts

Your questions about a bungalow extension in Tipton
Do I need building regulations approval in Tipton?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
Do you cover all of Tipton?
Yes. We cover Tipton and the surrounding parts of West Midlands. 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 Tipton, 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 £1,700 to £3,300 per m² including VAT. Going upwards is priced after a structural survey.
