Covering Eastwood
Our survey diary covers Eastwood, including NG16. The same team covers Hucknall (5 miles), Arnold (7 miles), Nottingham (7 miles), Kirkby-in-Ashfield (7 miles), all within easy reach.
Ilkeston, in Derbyshire, is roughly 2 miles from Eastwood and also on our list. Homes across the East Midlands often have usable side land or a driveway beside the house, which opens up side and wraparound options.
Do I need planning permission in Eastwood?
In England the main routes are permitted development (ideally confirmed with a lawful development certificate, £274), larger home extension prior approval (£249, 42 days) and a householder planning application (£548, normally 8 weeks), with council fees as set from 1 April 2026.
The planning position for a specific Eastwood address depends on its history and any designations, which is why we check it at the first visit.
If the work involves a shared wall, building on the boundary, or digging foundations within 3 m (sometimes 6 m) of a neighbour's building, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies and notice must be served before work starts: two months for work to a party wall, one month for new walls on the boundary and for excavations.
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).
What is included
- Measured survey of the house and garden
- 3D views to check the look and the light (full pack)
- Two or three layout options to compare
- Planning drawings: existing and proposed plans and elevations, site and location plans
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.
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 Eastwood home, measure up, talk through what you want and check the planning position.
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
Our team builds the extension, keeps you updated weekly and finishes with building control sign-off.
Common questions in Eastwood
Who do I contract with in Eastwood?
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.
How long does this take for a Eastwood home?
2–6 weeks for drawings, depending on the council and the complexity of the project.
Do I need building regulations approval in Eastwood?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
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.
