Covering Llandrindod Wells
We work in Llandrindod Wells (LD1) and the places around it, including Builth Wells, Newtown and Brecon.
Because Powys covers a wide area, we confirm availability after the first call and include any travel costs in the written quote rather than adding them later.
Homes in Powys
Welsh homes include long terraces built into hillsides, stone cottages and modern estates, and sloping sites often shape how and where an extension can go.
What do you get with a side return extension?
Side returns are small in area but heavy in detail: party walls, a glazed roof, and steelwork to take out the original back wall. We design the roof for light and drainage, agree the party wall process early, and keep the work tidy because access is often through the house.
- Structural steel to remove the side wall
- Drainage and new gully positions
- Plastering and making good to the old house

Planning and building rules in Llandrindod Wells
Planning decisions in Wales are made by the local council, using permitted development rules set by the Welsh Government rather than England’s. Building regulations in Wales have their own approved documents, and the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies to work on shared walls and boundaries.
Wales has its own permitted development rules, set by the Welsh Government. Small single-storey rear extensions can often go ahead without an application, but the limits differ from England's and there is no larger-extension prior approval route, so we check the current Welsh rules for your house before drawings are finalised.
What can affect a side return extension?
- Glazed roofs need careful detailing against the neighbour’s wall.
- Many terraces sit in conservation areas, where side extensions need planning permission.
