Bungalow rear extension in Slough

Single-storey rear extensions that keep everything on one level. We design, get the approvals for and build rear extensions for bungalows in Slough and the surrounding area, with one contract from the first survey to building control sign-off.

We cover Slough (SL1, SL2 and SL3) as part of our Berkshire work. For Slough bungalows we design the roof first, because the low eaves decide the height of the new room.

Bungalow rear extension prices in Slough

3 m wide × 4 m deep (12 m²)£25,000–£40,500

Do you need planning permission for a bungalow rear extension in Slough?

The planning route for a bungalow rear extension in Slough is set by England's householder rules and your council.

In England a single-storey rear extension can often be built under permitted development: up to 3 metres beyond the original rear wall of an attached house, or 4 metres on a detached house, no higher than 4 metres, with eaves no higher than 3 metres if any part is within 2 metres of a boundary.

If 3 or 4 metres is not enough, England's prior approval route allows 6 metres on a terraced or semi-detached house and 8 metres on a detached house for a single-storey rear extension. Neighbours are consulted, the council decides within 42 days, and the fee is £249, rising to £310 from 8 December 2026.

Conservation areas, National Parks, National Landscapes and the Broads restrict permitted development, and listed buildings always need listed building consent. At the first visit we measure what is there now and tell you which route fits: permitted development, prior approval or a planning application.

What are homes in Slough like to extend?

Slough has a mix of Victorian terraces near the centre and larger Edwardian and inter-war houses further out. Clay soils across much of the South East mean deeper foundations near trees, which we plan for at the survey.

How a bungalow rear extension in Slough comes together

  1. Survey visit

    We visit free of charge, measure up, check access, drainage and neighbours' extensions, and note what you want the room to do.

  2. Options and costs

    We draw layout options and price each one, so the budget shapes the design rather than surprising you later.

  3. Approvals

    Permitted development check, prior approval or planning application, then Building Regulations drawings and structural calculations, plus party wall notices where they apply.

  4. Fixed price and build

    A written price for the agreed design, a start date and a named contact through the build, ending with the building control completion certificate.

Sometimes, but that is a different project; a rear extension keeps everything on one level.
