Coventry, in West Midlands, is roughly 5 miles from Bedworth and also on our list. The West Midlands has a large stock of 1930s and post-war semi-detached houses, which are well suited to rear, side and over-garage extensions, plus Victorian terraces in the older inner areas.

What we take care of
- Strengthening or rebuilding the garage walls if needed
- New floor structure, walls and roof
- Insulation, electrics, heating and finish
- Structural survey of garage walls and foundations
Fitting the new room to the existing landing is the planning puzzle inside the house. We design the connection first, then the roof, so the extension does not end up with awkward steps or a corridor through a bedroom.
Do I need planning permission in Bedworth?
In England any side extension over one storey, including a room built over a side garage, needs a householder planning application. The fee is £548 from 1 April 2026 and councils aim to decide within 8 weeks.
In a conservation area, national park, National Landscape, the Broads or a World Heritage Site the permitted development limits are tighter (no side or two-storey extensions without an application). Listed homes need listed building consent, and if permitted development rights have been removed, any extension needs an application.
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).

Free site visit
We visit your Bedworth home, measure up, talk through what you want and check the planning position.
Design and approvals
Once the layout is agreed, we deal with the council: planning permission or written confirmation that none is needed, plus building control.
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
Our team builds the extension, keeps you updated weekly and finishes with building control sign-off.
Common questions in Bedworth
Do I need building regulations approval in Bedworth?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
How long does an over-garage extension take to build in Bedworth?
On site, typically 12 to 18 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 8–14 weeks design and approvals.
Do you cover all of Bedworth?
Yes. We cover Bedworth and the surrounding parts of Warwickshire. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
How much does a room over a garage cost?
Our guide range is about £1,750 to £3,300 per m² including VAT. A single-garage room of about 12 m² usually costs £24,000 to £31,500 at standard spec, more if the garage needs rebuilding.
Can I keep using the garage during the build?
Usually not for parking. The garage roof is removed and the space below is used for access and props for part of the build.
