Towns in Worcestershire
Local to Worcestershire
Towns we cover in Worcestershire include Worcester, Redditch, Kidderminster, Malvern, Bromsgrove, Evesham, Droitwich Spa, Stourport-on-Severn. Across the West Midlands, brick-built semis with long gardens are common, so single-storey and two-storey rear extensions are popular choices.

Will the council need to approve it?
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 Worcestershire 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.
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).

Common questions in Worcestershire
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Worcestershire, 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 long does this take for a Worcestershire home?
2–6 weeks for drawings, depending on the council and the complexity of the project.
Do I need building regulations approval in Worcestershire?
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.
