Bungalow rear extension in Hexham
Single-storey rear extensions that keep everything on one level. We design, get the approvals for and build rear extensions for bungalows in Hexham and the surrounding area, with one contract from the first survey to building control sign-off.
Hexham and its postcode districts NE46 are part of our Northumberland coverage. For Hexham bungalows we design the roof first, because the low eaves decide the height of the new room.

A bungalow rear extension in Hexham is priced at £1,660–£2,700 per square metre including VAT as a guide, before kitchen fit-out and fees. North East prices are among the lowest in our range; former mining ground is the main foundation variable.

We put a fixed price in writing once the design is agreed, and explain any provisional sums such as foundations.
Do you need planning permission for a bungalow rear extension in Hexham?
The planning route for a bungalow rear extension in Hexham is set by England's householder rules and your council.
English permitted development (Class A) allows a single-storey rear extension of 3 metres on a terraced or semi-detached house and 4 metres on a detached one, measured from the original house, with a maximum height of 4 metres and eaves of no more than 3 metres 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 Hexham like to extend?
Terraces and semis are typical around Hexham. On terraces a single-storey rear extension across the back yard is usually the practical choice; semis often have room for more.

FAQ
Bungalow rear extension questions in Hexham
Is the site visit in Hexham free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
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 I need to move out?
Rarely; the opening into the bungalow is made late in the build.
Do I need planning permission for a rear extension in Hexham?
Often not for a single-storey rear extension of up to 3 metres (4 metres on a detached house) under permitted development, or up to 6 or 8 metres with prior approval, unless the house is in a conservation area or its rights have been removed.
Can I get a price without a visit?
Our online guide-price tool gives a range in a couple of minutes. A written price needs a survey.
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.
