Extensions in and around Clydach
Across SA6, SA7, we can visit, measure and advise. Neighbouring towns we cover include Neath (4 miles), Swansea (5 miles), Briton Ferry (5 miles), Gorseinon (6 miles).
For homes towards Dyfed, Ammanford is around 8 miles away. 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.
What is included
- Brick, render or oak frame walls
- Design to suit the house style
- Planning check against the porch limits
- Front door, glazing and electrics
- Tiled, slate or flat roof
Proportion matters on a porch more than on any other extension, because it is at the front. We match the roof pitch and brick and keep the front door in proportion with the house windows.
Do I need planning permission in Clydach?
In Wales small porches are usually permitted development within size and boundary limits similar to England's. We check the current Welsh limits for your address.
Before any drawing is finalised we check whether the house is listed, in a conservation area or subject to an Article 4 direction.
Building regulations approval is separate from planning. Wales has its own building regulations and approved documents; the council or a registered building control approver checks the plans, inspects the work and issues a completion certificate.
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).
What should I budget for a porch extension in Clydach?
These guide figures apply our Wales adjustment (×0.93) to national rates. They include VAT at 20% and cover the build itself; design and council fees are listed separately.
