Local to Redcar
We cover Redcar and the postcode districts TS10, TS11. Neighbouring towns we cover include Middlesbrough (8 miles), Whitby (17 miles), Northallerton (26 miles), Scarborough (35 miles).
For homes towards County Durham, Hartlepool is around 8 miles away. Homes across Yorkshire and the Humber range from back-to-back and through terraces to large suburban semis, and extension options vary with them.
What it costs in Redcar
Fees below are our Redcar guide (×0.94, the Yorkshire and the Humber factor), including VAT. Council and building control fees are extra.
| Option | What it covers | Guide price |
|---|---|---|
| Essential | Building regulations drawings for a simple single-storey extension | £800 – £1,700 |
| Standard | Drawings plus structural calculations | £1,200 – £2,450 |
| Premium | Complex or two-storey pack with energy calculations | £2,050 – £3,600 |
Our design fee only. Building control charges are set by your council (or, in England and Wales, a registered building control approver) and quoted separately.

Do I need planning permission in Redcar?
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.
The planning position for a specific Redcar address depends on its history and any designations, which is why we check it at the first visit.
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).

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
We visit your Redcar home, measure up, talk through what you want and check the planning position.
Design and approvals
Drawings are prepared and agreed with you, then submitted for the right planning route and building regulations approval.
Fixed written price
With the design and specification agreed, you get a fixed written price and a start date.
Build and sign-off
We build it with one project manager, book the building control inspections and hand over the completion certificate.
Common questions in Redcar
Do you cover all of Redcar?
Yes. We cover Redcar and the surrounding parts of North Yorkshire. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Will my neighbours in Redcar be involved?
If a planning application or prior approval is needed, the council notifies neighbours. If the work is on or near a shared boundary, party wall notices may also be needed.
How long does this take for a Redcar home?
2–5 weeks for drawings, depending on the council and the complexity of the project.
Full plans or building notice?
A full plans application gets the drawings checked before work starts, which we usually recommend for extensions. A building notice is quicker to submit but carries more risk if something needs changing on site.
Who are building control?
Either your local council’s building control team or a registered building control approver. Both inspect the work and issue the completion certificate.
