Site visits are available across Wallasey (CH41, CH43, CH44, CH45, CH46, CH49). We also work in nearby Birkenhead (3 miles), Bootle (4 miles), Liverpool (4 miles), Litherland (4 miles).
Just over the Cheshire border, Ellesmere Port is about 12 miles away. Across the North West, terraced houses with small rear yards suit compact rear and side return extensions, while suburban semis have room for more.
Included in a typical project

- Data cabling and plenty of sockets
Planning rules that apply in Wallasey
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 regulations approval is separate from planning. In England you can use the council's building control team or a registered building control approver; a full plans application gets the drawings checked before work starts, and the inspector signs the work off with a completion certificate.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).

Your questions about a home office extension in Wallasey
How long does a home office extension take to build in Wallasey?
On site, typically 8 to 12 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 4–10 weeks design and approvals.
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Wallasey, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
Do I need building regulations approval in Wallasey?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
Can I claim the cost against tax?
Building work on your home is not normally an allowable business expense, and claiming it can have capital gains tax effects. Speak to an accountant before assuming any tax relief.
Is an attached office better than a garden office?
An attached office shares the house heating and broadband, adds floor area to the home, and needs no garden path in the rain. A garden building can be cheaper and quicker but is a separate structure.
