Planning rules that apply in Eccles
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.
Homes in conservation areas, national parks, National Landscapes (formerly AONBs), the Broads and World Heritage Sites have tighter rules, so we always check the property's status and planning history before design starts.
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).
Working in Eccles
Across M5, M6, M17, M27, M30, M32, we can visit, measure and advise. The same team covers Swinton (1 mile), Salford (2 miles), Stretford (2 miles), Urmston (3 miles), all within easy reach.
Golborne, in Merseyside, is roughly 11 miles from Eccles and also on our list. Across the North West, terraced houses with small rear yards suit compact rear and side return extensions, while suburban semis have room for more.
What we take care of
- Measured survey of the house and garden
- Building regulations drawings and specification
- Two or three layout options to compare
- Structural calculations from an engineer (full pack)
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.

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
Work is carried out to the agreed programme, inspected by building control and signed off at the end.
Common questions in Eccles
Who do I contract with in Eccles?
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 Eccles home?
2–6 weeks for drawings, depending on the council and the complexity of the project.
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Eccles, 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 do extension plans cost?
Our design packs range from about £1,100 to £5,250 including VAT, from planning drawings only to a full pack with building regulations drawings, structural calculations and 3D views. Council fees are separate.
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.
