Extensions over a garage in Liversedge
A over-garage extension in Liversedge starts with the right design and the right approval route. We take care of both, then build it with our own project management.

Included in a typical project
- Opening into the existing first floor
- Structural survey of garage walls and foundations
- Design and householder planning application
- Strengthening or rebuilding the garage walls if needed
- Insulation, electrics, heating and finish
- New floor structure, walls and roof
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.
Will the council need to approve it?
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.
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).

Over-garage extension questions answered
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Liversedge, 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 Liversedge?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
Who do I contract with for an over-garage extension in Liversedge?
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.
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.
Can my garage take the weight of a room on top?
Some can and some cannot. Many garages have a single-skin wall or shallow foundations. Our structural engineer checks this before we give a fixed price.
