Working in Pembroke Dock
We cover Pembroke Dock and the postcode districts SA72. We also work in nearby Haverfordwest (8 miles), Carmarthen (29 miles), Llanelli (33 miles), Ammanford (41 miles).
Gorseinon, in West Glamorgan, is roughly 38 miles from Pembroke Dock and also on our list. Welsh housing ranges from stone terraces in the valleys to render-and-slate houses and modern estates, and the Welsh planning rules differ from England's in several places.
Included in a typical project
- Insulation, electrics, heating and finish
- New floor structure, walls and roof
- Structural survey of garage walls and foundations
- Design and householder planning application
- Opening into the existing first floor
- Strengthening or rebuilding the garage walls if needed
Planning and approvals in Pembroke Dock
In Wales a two-storey side extension must be at least 10.5 m from the side boundary to be permitted development, which few houses can meet, so a planning application to the council is the usual route for a room over a garage.
Before any drawing is finalised we check whether the house is listed, in a conservation area or subject to an Article 4 direction.
The Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies in Wales as in England: notice must be served before work to a shared wall, building on the boundary, or excavating close to a neighbour's foundations.
Building over or within 3 m of a public sewer needs the water company's consent before the foundations go in.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your county or county borough council, or the national park authority).

Over-garage extension questions answered
Will my neighbours in Pembroke Dock be involved?
If a planning application is needed, the council notifies neighbours. If the work is on or near a shared boundary, party wall notices may also be needed.
Do you cover all of Pembroke Dock?
Yes. We cover Pembroke Dock and the surrounding parts of Dyfed. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Do I need building regulations approval in Pembroke Dock?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
How much does a room over a garage cost?
Our guide range is about £1,670 to £3,160 per m² including VAT. A single-garage room of about 12 m² usually costs £23,000 to £30,500 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.
