Covering Worcester
Alongside Worcester, we also cover Droitwich (6 miles to the north-east), Great Malvern and Pershore.
Homes in the West Midlands
Across the West Midlands, terraced and semi-detached houses in red brick are typical, along with post-war estates where garage conversions and side extensions are popular.
What does a garden annexe involve?
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.
- Brick, block or timber-frame structure
- Kitchenette and shower room
- Accessible design options for older relatives
What is the guide price for a garden annexe in Worcester?
Typical ranges for garden annexes. Ground conditions, access and specification move the final figure, which we fix in writing before work starts.
| Garden annexes | Guide price incl. VAT |
|---|---|
| Standard specification | £2,400 to £2,900 per m² |
| Good specification | £2,900 to £3,400 per m² |
| High specification | £3,400 to £3,900 per m² |
How is a garden annexe approved in Worcester?
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 should Worcester homeowners check first?
- Drainage may need a pump if the garden falls away from the sewer.
- Council tax treatment depends on who lives there; check with your council.
How does the project run?
- Tell us about the project. Call, use the guide price tool or send the form with a few photos and a postcode.
- We visit and measure. A surveyor checks the house, the boundaries and the ground, and discusses what is realistic.
- Design and fixed price. You get drawings and a written price for the agreed specification before anything is ordered.
- We build it. Work follows an agreed programme, with inspections at each stage and a final sign-off.
What people ask before starting
Can I rent the annexe out?
Usually not without a separate planning permission, because councils normally require it to stay part of the main house.
How long does an annexe take to build?
About 14 to 24 weeks on site after approvals.
Can you visit a house in Worcester to quote?
Yes. After a short call we arrange a site visit to measure up and agree what the design needs to do, then send a written price.
