Covering West Midlands
Our garden annexes service in the West Midlands covers Birmingham, Coventry, Wolverhampton and Dudley and more.
Homes in the West Midlands
Red-brick terraces and inter-war semis make up much of the housing in the West Midlands, which suits rear extensions, dormer lofts and hip-to-gable conversions, with more modern estates on the edges of the towns.
What is included in a garden annexe in the West Midlands?
We design annexes as permanent buildings with proper foundations, insulation and services, and we prepare the planning case showing how the annexe will be used as part of the main home. Connections for water, drainage and power are planned from the start.
- Design and planning application
- Kitchenette and shower room
- Heating, hot water and electrics

Do you need permission for a garden annexe in the West Midlands?
English projects need planning clearance from the local council, building regulations sign-off from building control, and party wall notices where the work is on or near a shared boundary. We prepare and manage all three.
A self-contained annexe used for sleeping and living normally needs planning permission in England.
What can change the price or programme?
- The annexe normally has to remain part of the main household, not let as a separate home.
- A level threshold and wider doors make the annexe suitable for later life.
What are the steps?
- Start with a conversation. A short call or the online form is enough for us to understand what you want to build.
- Free site visit. We measure up, look at access, drains and the structure, and talk through options and budget.
- Drawings, approvals, written quote. We prepare the design, apply for the approvals it needs, and give you a fixed price in writing.
- Build and hand over. Our teams build to the programme, building control inspects, and you get the completion paperwork at the end.
