Bungalow rear extension in Sudbury
We plan and build rear extensions for bungalows for homeowners in Sudbury. Single-storey rear extensions that keep everything on one level. Start with a free site visit, then a written price once the design is agreed.
Sudbury and its postcode districts HA0, HA9 and UB6 are part of our Greater London coverage. For Sudbury bungalows we design the roof first, because the low eaves decide the height of the new room.

How much does a bungalow rear extension cost in Sudbury?
Guide prices for a bungalow rear extension in Sudbury start from our London rate of £2,400–£3,900 per square metre, including VAT. London prices sit at the top of our range because of labour rates, access through the house, parking suspensions and skip licences.
| Size | Guide price inc VAT |
|---|---|
| 3 m wide × 4 m deep (12 m²) | £29,000–£47,000 |
| 4 m wide × 6 m deep (24 m²) | £57,500–£93,500 |
Your written price follows a measured survey and an agreed design, so it reflects your house, not an average.
Do you need planning permission for a bungalow rear extension in Sudbury?
Whether your bungalow rear extension in Sudbury needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.
Under England's householder permitted development rules you can usually add 3 metres at the back of an attached house, or 4 metres on a detached house, without a planning application, as long as the extension stays under 4 metres high and its eaves stay under 3 metres where it is within 2 metres of a boundary.
England also has the larger home extension route: a single-storey rear extension of up to 6 metres on an attached house or 8 metres on a detached house, after prior approval from the council. The council notifies your neighbours and has 42 days to decide; the fee is £249 (£310 for applications made from 8 December 2026). The route is not available on designated land such as conservation areas.
Conservation areas, National Parks, National Landscapes and the Broads restrict permitted development, and listed buildings always need listed building consent. Before any drawing we look up the property's history with the council, because earlier extensions and removed rights change the answer.
What are homes in Sudbury like to extend?
Sudbury is mostly 1930s semis, short terraces and post-war houses, so full-width single-storey and two-storey rear extensions are realistic on many plots. Some later estates had permitted development rights removed by condition, so we check the planning history first.

FAQ
Bungalow rear extension questions in Sudbury
Will I need a structural engineer?
Yes for the beam over the new opening and usually the foundations; we arrange them and their calculations go to building control.
Is the site visit in Sudbury free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
How deep can I extend?
The same limits as a house: 3 or 4 metres in England, more with prior approval.
What postcode areas do you cover around Sudbury?
Including HA0, HA9 and UB6, and the surrounding Greater London area.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Sudbury house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
Can I live at home while the extension is built?
Usually yes. Most of the work is outside until the back wall is opened near the end, and that stage is screened off.
