Local to Stockton-on-Tees
Postcode districts we cover around Stockton-on-Tees include TS16, TS17, TS18, TS19, TS20, TS23. Neighbouring towns we cover include Billingham (2 miles), Thornaby-on-Tees (3 miles), Yarm (5 miles), Hartlepool (9 miles).
Middlesbrough, in North Yorkshire, is roughly 3 miles from Stockton-on-Tees and also on our list. Across the North East, houses often have rear yards or modest gardens, so compact, well-lit single-storey extensions make the biggest difference.
Planning and approvals in Stockton-on-Tees
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.
Homes in conservation areas, national parks, National Landscapes (formerly AONBs), the Broads 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, usually through a build-over agreement, before the foundations go in.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).

Questions people ask about timber frame extensions
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Stockton-on-Tees, 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 timber frame extension in Stockton-on-Tees?
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 I need building regulations approval in Stockton-on-Tees?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
Is timber frame cheaper than brick?
It is similar overall. The frame can save time on site, but the cladding choice has a big effect on cost. Our guide range is about £1,590 to £3,090 per m² including VAT.
Does a timber frame extension need planning permission?
The same planning rules apply as for any extension. If the cladding looks different from the house, permitted development’s matching-materials condition may mean an application is needed.
