Local to Rugby
We cover Rugby and the postcode districts CV21, CV22, CV23. Neighbouring towns we cover include Bedworth (11 miles), Leamington Spa (12 miles), Nuneaton (14 miles), Kenilworth (14 miles).
For homes towards Northamptonshire, Daventry is around 9 miles away. Across the West Midlands, brick-built semis with long gardens are common, so single-storey and two-storey rear extensions are popular choices.

Do I need planning permission in Rugby?
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.
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.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).
What we take care of
- 3D views to check the look and the light (full pack)
- Measured survey of the house and garden
- Planning drawings: existing and proposed plans and elevations, site and location plans
- Two or three layout options to compare
- Building regulations drawings and specification
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
First, a site visit: we look at the house, garden, access and drains and listen to what you need.
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
The price is fixed in writing once the design is settled, with a clear programme and payment stages.
Build and sign-off
The build is managed from start to finish, inspected at each stage and signed off on completion.
Questions answered
How long does this take for a Rugby home?
2–6 weeks for drawings, depending on the council and the complexity of the project.
Do you cover all of Rugby?
Yes. We cover Rugby and the surrounding parts of Warwickshire. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Will my neighbours in Rugby 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.
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.
