Working in Briton Ferry
Our survey diary covers Briton Ferry, including SA12. The same team covers Neath (2 miles), Clydach (5 miles), Swansea (5 miles), Gorseinon (10 miles), all within easy reach.
Maesteg, in Mid Glamorgan, is roughly 7 miles from Briton Ferry 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.
When it helps
- Anyone who wants fixed designs before getting build prices
- Homeowners at the very start of a project
- Projects that need a planning application or other approval
The most expensive changes are the ones made after the steel is ordered. A good design stage settles layout, heights, glazing and services on paper, so the build price is firm.
Will the council need to approve it?
In Wales the routes are permitted development (a lawful development certificate is available), or a householder planning application to the council. Wales has no prior approval scheme for larger rear extensions, and fees are set by the Welsh Government.
The planning position for a specific Briton Ferry 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 over or within 3 m of a public sewer needs the water company's consent before the foundations go in.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your county or county borough council, or the national park authority).

From first visit to completion
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
Once the layout is agreed, we deal with the council: planning permission or written confirmation that none is needed, plus building control.
Fixed written price
The price is fixed in writing once the design is settled, with a clear programme and payment stages.
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 Briton Ferry
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Briton Ferry, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
Who do I contract with in Briton Ferry?
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.
Do you cover all of Briton Ferry?
Yes. We cover Briton Ferry and the surrounding parts of West Glamorgan. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Do I need an architect?
Not necessarily. For most extensions an experienced designer or architectural technologist is enough. For listed buildings or complex sites an architect’s input can help.
Can I use your drawings with another builder?
Yes. Once paid for, the drawings are yours to use for your project.
