Bungalow rear extension in Hyde
We plan and build rear extensions for bungalows for homeowners in Hyde. 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.
Hyde is covered from our Greater Manchester round, including M34, SK14 and SK16. For Hyde 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 Hyde?
For Hyde we work from the North West England rate: £1,740–£2,820 per square metre of new floor, including VAT, standard specification. North West prices sit below our West Midlands baseline; access on terraced streets is the main variable.
| Size | Guide price inc VAT |
|---|---|
| 3 m wide × 4 m deep (12 m²) | £21,000–£34,000 |
| 4 m wide × 6 m deep (24 m²) | £41,500–£67,500 |
These are guide ranges; the written quote after the survey is the figure that counts.
Do you need planning permission for a bungalow rear extension in Hyde?
Planning for a bungalow rear extension in Hyde follows the English householder rules.
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. 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 Hyde like to extend?
Stone and brick terraces are common around Hyde. Where houses back onto a ginnel or alley, deliveries can come in from the rear, which makes the build tidier.

FAQ
Bungalow rear extension questions in Hyde
How long does a rear extension take to build in Hyde?
Most single-storey rear extensions take 10 to 16 weeks on site and two-storey extensions 16 to 26 weeks, after design and approvals.
How much does a bungalow rear extension cost in Hyde?
As a guide, £1,740–£2,820 per square metre including VAT for a standard specification. For example, 3 m wide × 4 m deep (12 m²): about £21,000–£34,000 at that rate. Your written price follows the survey.
Will the roof look odd?
Not if the pitch and tiles match. Where the eaves are low, a flat-roofed section with a lantern is an alternative.
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.
Do you handle building control in Hyde?
Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.
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.
