How much does a glazed rear extension cost in Buxton?
A glazed rear extension in Buxton is priced at £2,720–£4,660 per square metre including VAT as a guide, before kitchen fit-out and fees. East Midlands prices sit a little below our West Midlands baseline.
| Size | Guide price inc VAT |
|---|---|
| 3 m wide × 4 m deep (12 m²) | £32,500–£56,000 |
| 4 m wide × 6 m deep (24 m²) | £65,000–£111,500 |
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 glazed rear extension in Buxton?
Whether your glazed rear extension in Buxton 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.
New fabric must meet Approved Document L (2021 edition incorporating 2023 amendments): walls 0.18, roof 0.15 and floor 0.18 W/m²K, windows 1.4 W/m²K or Band B. Under the simple route, new windows, doors and rooflights should not exceed 25% of the extension floor area plus any openings removed; more glass is possible with a whole-house calculation.
Conservation areas, National Parks, National Landscapes and the Broads restrict permitted development, and listed buildings always need listed building consent. We check your house's planning history and any conservation area before drawing, so the route is clear before you spend on plans.
What are homes in Buxton like to extend?
Buxton has plenty of inter-war semis and bungalows, and single-storey rear extensions suit both.

FAQ
Glazed rear extension questions in Buxton
What postcode areas do you cover around Buxton?
Including SK17, and the surrounding Derbyshire area.
How long does a rear extension take to build in Buxton?
Most single-storey rear extensions take 10 to 16 weeks on site and two-storey extensions 16 to 26 weeks, after design and approvals.
Does glass need planning permission?
The same rules apply as any rear extension; glass does not change the depth or height limits.

In England, usually yes if the extension is on or near a shared boundary or the foundations are close to a neighbour's building. We serve the notices.
Who will build my extension?
Vetted building teams working under contract to us. Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd for the design and the build.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Buxton house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
