At Whites Building Ltd, we offer a comprehensive range of building services tailored specifically to bungalow properties in Smethwick and surrounding areas. Our expertise covers every aspect of bungalow extensions, ensuring your new space perfectly complements your home and lifestyle:

• Single-Storey Extensions: The most common approach, perfect for expanding kitchens, creating new dining areas, or adding versatile garden rooms. These can be rear extensions, side extensions, or clever wrap-around extensions that truly redefine your ground floor.
• Two-Storey Extensions: While less common for bungalows, where feasible, a two-storey extension offers maximum return on investment. This can involve building over an existing garage (over-garage extensions) or carefully adding a new upper floor, subject to structural considerations and planning permission, providing substantial additional space upstairs for bedrooms and bathrooms.
• Kitchen & Bathroom Extensions: We specialise in creating stunning kitchen extensions – the heart of any modern home – and expanding or adding new bathrooms, enhancing both functionality and comfort.
• Orangeries & Garden Rooms: For a seamless connection to your garden and an abundance of natural light, consider a beautifully designed orangery or a solid, insulated garden room for year-round enjoyment.

We manage every detail, from foundations and brickwork to roofing, plumbing, electrics, and all the finishing touches, delivering a complete design and build solution.

Building an extension in Smethwick involves understanding local regulations. As your trusted local builders, Whites Building Ltd takes the stress out of this process. We guide you through the necessary paperwork, working diligently to ensure your bungalow extension complies with all requirements:

• Permitted Development: Many smaller bungalow extensions may fall under 'Permitted Development' rights, potentially avoiding the need for a full planning application to Sandwell Council. We can assess your plans against the criteria.
• Planning Permission: For larger, more complex, or two-storey extensions, full planning permission will likely be required from Sandwell Council. We can work alongside your chosen architect to prepare and submit a robust application, ensuring it meets local guidelines.
• Building Regulations: Regardless of planning permission, all extensions in the UK must adhere to strict Building Regulations. These standards ensure your new space is structurally sound, safe, energy-efficient, and fit for purpose. We build to these exacting standards and arrange all necessary inspections by local authority building control.
• The Party Wall Act: If your extension is near or on the boundary with a neighbour's property, a Party Wall Agreement may be necessary. We can offer initial advice on this important legal aspect.
