Extensions on Evesham housing
Evesham sits in a loop of the Avon and parts of the town and the Vale villages are in the flood zone, which changes how an extension is built rather than whether it can be. Where the Environment Agency maps put a plot at risk, Wychavon District Council may require a flood risk assessment with the application, and the construction itself is detailed for it: finished floor levels set above the likely flood line, solid floors rather than suspended timber, services brought in high, materials at low level that can be dried out rather than ripped out. None of that is exotic, but it has to be designed at the start, and it is one reason we survey before we quote here.
The other Evesham feature is the bungalow. Across Bengeworth, Hampton, Greenhill and villages such as Badsey and Offenham there is a large stock of postwar bungalows on wide plots, and extending one is often simpler than extending a house: single storey, no upstairs to work around, room to go sideways as well as back, and a roof that can be continued rather than redesigned. A bungalow extension is frequently paired with a loft conversion to add bedrooms above. On the two storey estate housing at Fairfield the rear kitchen extension is the usual brief and is conventional. In the town centre conservation area, matched materials and a rear position are what get an application through.
What we are asked for here
- Extensions on flood-zone plots with floor levels and services designed for it
- Side and rear extensions on postwar bungalows across the Vale villages
- Rear kitchen extensions on the estate housing
- Consent-led extensions in the town centre conservation area

Carter Langfold spent 5 days last week correcting a mess done by another Company in an attempt to remove spray foam from loft. The team led by Manager Marcus were brilliant throughout the week.
Was very happy with the service provided. Very friendly lads and made sure I was happy with the completed job before they left. Would recommend the use of this company.
Very pleased with the professionalism & standard of work provided.
Questions
Extensions in Evesham, answered straight
My house is in the flood zone. Can I still extend?
Usually, yes. Wychavon District Council may ask for a flood risk assessment, and we design the build for it: raised floor levels, solid floors, services high, and low-level materials that survive a wetting. It is decided at the start, not after.
Is a bungalow cheaper to extend than a house?
Often simpler, because there is no upstairs to support and the roof can usually be continued. Whether it is cheaper depends on size and finish, which is why we price from the survey rather than a rule of thumb.
Can you add bedrooms to a bungalow at the same time?
Yes. A side or rear extension plus a loft conversion is a common Vale combination, and doing them together means one scaffold, one set of drawings and one building control application.
