A good utility works like a back-of-house corridor: in from the garden, boots off, coats on hooks, washing on the way through. We plan the door positions so it doesn't become another room to walk around.
Planning rules that apply in Clydach
In Wales a single-storey rear extension can usually project up to 4 m beyond the rear wall without a planning application, if it is no more than 4 m high, keeps eaves to 3 m and overall height to 4 m within 2 m of a boundary, and covers no more than half the land around the original house. Wales has no larger home extension prior approval scheme.
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 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.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your county or county borough council, or the national park authority).
Working in Clydach

Just over the Dyfed border, Ammanford is about 8 miles away. In Wales, terraced houses with rear offshoots are common in the towns, while detached houses and bungalows dominate in rural areas.

Common questions in Clydach
Who do I contract with for a utility room extension in Clydach?
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 utility room extension take to build in Clydach?
On site, typically 6 to 10 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 4–10 weeks design and approvals.
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Clydach, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
Does a utility extension need planning permission?
Often not, if it is single storey and within permitted development limits. We check this for your property.
Can a utility have a toilet?
Yes, space permitting. A WC needs drainage and extraction, which we plan into the design.
