Rear extensions for bungalows in Worcestershire
Single-storey rear extensions that keep everything on one level. We design and build rear extensions across Worcestershire, from Worcester and Redditch to Kidderminster, covering single-storey kitchen extensions, two-storey additions, side returns and wraparounds.
For Worcester bungalows we design the roof first, because the low eaves decide the height of the new room. Worcestershire has a lot of post-war semis and estate houses with long gardens and side access, which makes rear extensions quicker to build.
How much does a bungalow rear extension cost in Worcestershire?
A bungalow rear extension in Worcestershire is priced at £1,850–£3,000 per square metre including VAT as a guide, before kitchen fit-out and fees. The West Midlands is the baseline for our guide prices.
| Size | Guide price inc VAT |
|---|---|
| 3 m wide × 4 m deep (12 m²) | £22,000–£36,000 |
| 4 m wide × 6 m deep (24 m²) | £44,500–£72,000 |
Your written price follows a measured survey and an agreed design, so it reflects your house, not an average.
Do you need planning permission in Worcestershire?
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.

FAQ
Questions people ask
Can a bungalow extension be fully accessible?
Yes: level thresholds, wider doors and a wet room are straightforward to design in.
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.
Can I extend the loft as well?
Sometimes, but that is a different project; a rear extension keeps everything on one level.
Do you cover all of Worcestershire?
We cover 8 towns and districts in Worcestershire, including Worcester, Redditch and Kidderminster.
