Understanding What You Want
Once you have approved the final size, design and layout of your home extension we can start to discuss all the specifications that will make the extension part of your home. Many clients see this as the most important aspect of the build and these personal additions will provide us with a full understanding of your project allowing for a fixed price quotation to be provided.
Some clients have scheme drawings produced before contacting their preferred North Wales building companies for quotations. North Wales Extensions are happy to work from client supplied drawings.
However, If no drawings are available, we can also discuss your ideas and offer our advice and guidance. Our experienced team can work with you design and plan your home extension. North Wales based clients we’ve worked with in the past have come to us at various stages of their journey, and we understand that extending your home is a very personal process. Whether you prefer us to work from your own pre-made designs, work with you to collaboratively design a blueprint, or take full ownership of the design and planning process, we will be able to assist.

Do I need planning permission for a home extension in North Wales?
In many cases, yes. Planning permission is typically required if your extension exceeds certain limits, such as increasing the original building’s volume by more than 115 cubic metres, extending beyond the rear wall by more than 4 metres, or if the extension is higher than the existing roof. Additionally, properties in conservation areas or national parks may have stricter regulations. It’s essential to consult your local planning authority to determine the specific requirements for your project.
What are the building regulations for home extensions in North Wales?
Building regulations ensure that any construction work meets safety and energy efficiency standards. Most extensions will require approval under these regulations, covering aspects like structural integrity, fire safety, insulation, and ventilation. However, certain structures like small porches, conservatories, or detached garages under 30m² may be exempt. It’s crucial to check with your local authority or a qualified professional to ensure compliance.
How much does a home extension cost in North Wales?
The cost of a home extension varies based on size, design, materials, and location. As of 2025, single-storey extensions in the UK typically range from £1,800 to £3,500 per square metre, while double-storey extensions can be slightly more cost-effective per square metre, ranging from £1,650 to £3,250. Additional expenses may include planning fees, building regulations approval, and unforeseen costs like utility upgrades.

How long does it take to get planning permission for an extension in North Wales?
Once you’ve submitted your application, the local council will review it, notify neighbours, and make a decision. This process typically takes up to eight weeks. If approved, you usually have five years to commence the work. If denied, you can amend and resubmit your application within 12 months without incurring an additional fee.
What are the common pitfalls to avoid when planning a home extension?
Common mistakes include underestimating costs, neglecting to obtain necessary permissions, and not considering the impact on neighbours. It’s essential to have a clear budget, ensure all legal requirements are met, and maintain open communication with all stakeholders. Engaging experienced professionals can help navigate these challenges effectively.

Can I live in my home during the extension work?
In many cases, yes. However, this depends on the scale and nature of the work. For minor extensions, it’s often feasible to remain in the home, though there may be disruptions. For larger projects, especially those involving significant structural changes, it might be more practical to arrange alternative accommodation during the construction period. Discussing this with your builder can provide clarity based on your specific situation.
