Working in Banstead
Site visits are available across Banstead (KT17, KT18, KT20, SM7). The same team covers Ewell (3 miles), Epsom (3 miles), Leatherhead (6 miles), Redhill (6 miles), all within easy reach.
For homes towards Greater London, Sutton is around 2 miles away. In the South East, plenty of houses have already been extended once, which makes checking the remaining permitted development allowance an important early step.
What is included
- Membrane choice: single-ply, EPDM or GRP
- Parapets or edge trims and flashings to the house
- Lanterns or rooflights with upstands
- Warm-roof design with insulation above the deck
- Falls and outlets designed to drain properly
Height is often what decides a flat roof. Under first-floor windows, a pitched roof may not fit at all; a flat roof keeps the extension low while still giving a good ceiling height inside.

Planning and approvals in Banstead
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.
Before any drawing is finalised we check whether the house is listed, in a conservation area or subject to an Article 4 direction.
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 happens next

Your questions about a flat roof extension in Banstead
Do you cover all of Banstead?
Yes. We cover Banstead and the surrounding parts of Surrey. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
How long does a flat roof extension take to build in Banstead?
On site, typically 10 to 16 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 4–12 weeks design and approvals.
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Banstead, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
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.
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.
