Covering Briton Ferry
Across SA12, we can visit, measure and advise. We also work in nearby Neath (2 miles), Clydach (5 miles), Swansea (5 miles), Gorseinon (10 miles).
In Wales, terraced houses with rear offshoots are common in the towns, while detached houses and bungalows dominate in rural areas.
Will the council need to approve it?
In Wales a single-storey side return can fall within permitted development if it stays within the 4 m height limit and the width rules for side extensions. Conservation areas and listed buildings need consent, and the Party Wall Act applies to work on or near a shared wall.
Homes in conservation areas, national parks, National Landscapes (AONBs) and World Heritage Sites have tighter rules, so we always check the property's status and planning history before design starts.
Building over or within 3 m of a public sewer needs the water company's consent before the foundations go in.
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.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your county or county borough council, or the national park authority).
Our process, step by step
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
We visit your Briton Ferry home, measure up, talk through what you want and check the planning position.
Design and approvals
Once the layout is agreed, we deal with the council: planning permission or written confirmation that none is needed, plus building control.
Fixed written price
We confirm the build price in writing, based on the approved drawings and the finishes you have chosen.
Build and sign-off
We build it with one project manager, book the building control inspections and hand over the completion certificate.
Questions people ask about side return extensions
Who do I contract with for a side return extension in Briton Ferry?
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.
Do you cover all of Briton Ferry?
Yes. We cover Briton Ferry and the surrounding parts of West Glamorgan. 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 Briton Ferry, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
Can I combine a side return with a rear extension?
Yes. That combination is a wraparound extension, which adds the most space to a terraced house.
How much does a side return extension cost?
Our guide range is about £1,950 to £3,530 per m² including VAT, so a typical 2 m × 5.5 m infill lands around £24,500 to £31,000 at standard spec in Briton Ferry, more in London.
