Local to Willenhall
Site visits are available across Willenhall (WS10, WV1, WV11, WV12, WV13, WV14). The same team covers Wednesfield (1 mile), Wolverhampton (3 miles), Wednesbury (3 miles), Walsall (3 miles), all within easy reach.
Just over the Staffordshire border, Great Wyrley is about 6 miles away. Across the West Midlands, brick-built semis with long gardens are common, so single-storey and two-storey rear extensions are popular choices.
What is included
- Fire and acoustic details where needed
- Cladding, render or brick slip finish
- Frame design and structural calculations
- Breathable wall build-up with insulation
- Foundations, often lighter than masonry
Moisture is the enemy of any timber building. We design ventilated cladding cavities, breather membranes and a proper damp-proof course height, and keep the frame dry during construction.
Do I need planning permission in Willenhall?
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.
The planning position for a specific Willenhall 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.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).

Build and sign-off
Work is carried out to the agreed programme, inspected by building control and signed off at the end.
Questions people ask about timber frame extensions
Do I need building regulations approval in Willenhall?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
Who do I contract with for a timber frame extension in Willenhall?
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.
How long does a timber frame extension take to build in Willenhall?
On site, typically 8 to 14 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 4–12 weeks design and approvals.
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 £1,700 to £3,300 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.
