Glazed rear extension in Wembley
Thinking about a glazed rear extension in Wembley? Full-height glass, slim frames and big rooflights for the most open rear room. Our team handles the drawings, the planning route and the build, and your contract is with one company throughout.
We cover Wembley (HA0, HA9 and UB6) as part of our Greater London work. A wide sliding door with one long rooflight, rather than a fully glazed roof, keeps a glass-led extension usable in summer.

How much does a glazed rear extension cost in Wembley?
For Wembley we work from the London rate: £3,640–£6,240 per square metre of new floor, including VAT, standard specification. 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) | £43,500–£75,000 |
| 4 m wide × 6 m deep (24 m²) | £87,500–£150,000 |
Your written price follows a measured survey and an agreed design, so it reflects your house, not an average.
Do you need planning permission for a glazed rear extension in Wembley?
Here is how the rules in England apply to a glazed rear extension in Wembley.
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.
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 Wembley like to extend?
Wembley 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. If your garden in Wembley faces south, expect us to talk about overhangs and solar-control glass before frame colours.
