Covering Ripon
We cover Ripon and the postcode districts HG4. Nearby, we also take on projects in Harrogate (12 miles), Northallerton (13 miles), Skipton (23 miles), York (24 miles).
For homes towards West Yorkshire, Guiseley is around 20 miles away. Yorkshire and the Humber combines stone-built terraces in the Pennine towns with brick semis and newer estates elsewhere, so materials and roof details need matching with care.

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.
The planning position for a specific Ripon address depends on its history and any designations, which is why we check it at the first visit.
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.
If the work involves a shared wall, building on the boundary, or digging foundations within 3 m (sometimes 6 m) of a neighbour's building, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies and notice must be served before work starts: two months for work to a party wall, one month for new walls on the boundary and for excavations.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).
How the project works
Site visits are free and there is no obligation. Where drawings are needed, the design stage is priced in writing before it starts.
Free site visit
A designer visits, takes measurements and photos, and discusses layouts, budget and timing with you.
Design and approvals
We draw the design, agree it with you and handle planning or permitted development checks and building regulations.
Fixed written price
You receive a written, itemised price and programme. Nothing starts until you are happy with it.
Build and sign-off
We build it with one project manager, book the building control inspections and hand over the completion certificate.
Your questions about an over-garage extension in Ripon
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Ripon, 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 you cover all of Ripon?
Yes. We cover Ripon and the surrounding parts of North Yorkshire. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
How long does an over-garage extension take to build in Ripon?
On site, typically 12 to 18 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 8–14 weeks design and approvals.
How much does a room over a garage cost?
Our guide range is about £1,690 to £3,200 per m² including VAT. A single-garage room of about 12 m² usually costs £23,500 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.
