Covering Broadstairs
Our survey diary covers Broadstairs, including CT10, CT11. Neighbouring towns we cover include Ramsgate (2 miles), Margate (3 miles), Deal (9 miles), Herne Bay (14 miles).
Clacton-on-Sea, in Essex, is roughly 32 miles from Broadstairs and also on our list. Homes across the South East range from Victorian terraces in the older town centres to large detached houses on the edges, so the right extension type varies street by street.
Planning rules that apply in Broadstairs
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.
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.
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).

Pitched roof extension questions answered
Do you cover all of Broadstairs?
Yes. We cover Broadstairs and the surrounding parts of Kent. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Broadstairs, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
Who do I contract with for a pitched roof extension in Broadstairs?
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 have a vaulted ceiling?
Yes. A vaulted ceiling with roof windows is one of the main reasons to choose a pitched roof. It needs insulation between and under the rafters to meet the building regulations.
Is a pitched roof better than a flat roof?
Neither is better in all cases. Pitched roofs blend with traditional houses and shed water quickly; flat roofs give more headroom and suit modern designs and lanterns.
