Covering Aylesbury

Our survey diary covers Aylesbury, including HP17, HP19, HP20, HP21, HP22. Neighbouring towns we cover include Chesham (12 miles), Bletchley (13 miles), High Wycombe (13 miles), Amersham (13 miles).

Thame, in Oxfordshire, is roughly 9 miles from Aylesbury and also on our list. Homes across the South East range from Victorian terraces in the older town centres to large detached houses on the edges, so the right extension type varies street by street.

Will the council need to approve it?

In England a single-storey rear extension can usually go up to 3 m beyond the original rear wall of a semi-detached or terraced house, or 4 m on a detached house, without a planning application, provided it is no more than 4 m high, keeps eaves to 3 m within 2 m of a boundary and, with other buildings, covers no more than half the land around the original house. The larger home extension prior approval scheme raises those depths to 6 m and 8 m, with neighbours notified and a 42-day decision.

The planning position for a specific Aylesbury 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 we take care of

  • Parapets or edge trims and flashings to the house

  3. Fixed written price

    The build is managed from start to finish, inspected at each stage and signed off on completion.

Questions people ask about flat roof extensions

Will my neighbours in Aylesbury 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.

Who do I contract with for a flat roof extension in Aylesbury?

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 a flat roof extension take to build in Aylesbury?

On site, typically 10 to 16 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 4–12 weeks design and approvals.

Can I walk on a flat roof extension?

Only for maintenance unless it is designed as a terrace. A roof terrace or balcony needs planning permission and a different structure.

Are flat roof extensions cheaper?

Usually slightly, because there is less roof structure and no tiles. Our guide range is about £1,960 to £3,750 per m² including VAT.
