Living Design & Build delivers extensions, loft conversions, new builds and full refurbishments across Kidderminster, Stourport-on-Severn, Bewdley and the wider DY10 and DY11 postcodes. Our base near Bridgnorth puts us within 30 minutes of every Kidderminster postcode, so site visits, deliveries and snagging are quick.
Kidderminster's mix of Victorian and Edwardian terraces, 1930s semis and post-war estates means we see a steady flow of side-return extensions, loft conversions and full kitchen refits. Properties in Bewdley and the Severn-side villages often need sensitive period restoration alongside modern fabric upgrades — better insulation, EPC improvements and Part L compliance.
Kidderminster is under Wyre Forest District Council, with Bewdley falling within a designated conservation area. Most rear extensions on semi-detached homes can be built under permitted development; properties in Bewdley or Stourport's central conservation areas need full planning permission. We submit planning applications and discharge conditions on behalf of clients.
A selection of completed builds in and around Kidderminster.
A dormer loft conversion with an en-suite typically costs £45,000–£70,000 in the Kidderminster area. Velux-only conversions are usually £30,000–£45,000. Final cost depends on staircase position, structural work and finish specification.
Single-storey rear extensions up to 4m (detached) or 3m (semi/terrace) usually fall under permitted development, subject to height limits and neighbour considerations. Anything in a conservation area or AONB needs full planning. We assess this on day one of every quote.
