Working in Wrexham
Our survey diary covers Wrexham, including LL11, LL12, LL13. Nearby, we also take on projects in Rhosllannerchrugog (4 miles), Buckley (9 miles), Hawarden (10 miles), Deeside (11 miles).
Welshpool, in Powys, is roughly 28 miles from Wrexham and also on our list. Welsh housing ranges from stone terraces in the valleys to render-and-slate houses and modern estates, and the Welsh planning rules differ from England's in several places.
Planning rules that apply in Wrexham
In Wales single-storey bungalow extensions follow the normal limits (up to 4 m at the rear); adding a storey needs planning permission.
The planning position for a specific Wrexham address depends on its history and any designations, which is why we check it at the first visit.
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.
Building regulations approval is separate from planning. Wales has its own building regulations and approved documents; the council or a registered building control approver checks the plans, inspects the work and issues a completion certificate.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your county or county borough council, or the national park authority).
When a bungalow extension makes sense
- 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.
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 produce the drawings and structural design, and manage the approvals so they are in place before work starts.
Fixed written price
You receive a written, itemised price and programme. Nothing starts until you are happy with it.
Build and sign-off
Our team builds the extension, keeps you updated weekly and finishes with building control sign-off.
Common questions in Wrexham
How long does a bungalow extension take to build in Wrexham?
On site, typically 10 to 18 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 6–14 weeks design and approvals.
Will my neighbours in Wrexham 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.
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Wrexham, 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 £1,630 to £3,160 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.
