Glazed rear extension in Ince-in-Makerfield
For homes in Ince-in-Makerfield, a glazed rear extension is often the simplest way to gain space without moving. Full-height glass, slim frames and big rooflights for the most open rear room. We take it from survey to completion certificate.
Ince-in-Makerfield is covered from our Greater Manchester round, including WN1, WN2 and WN3. A wide sliding door with one long rooflight, rather than a fully glazed roof, keeps a glass-led extension usable in summer.

Do you need planning permission for a glazed rear extension in Ince-in-Makerfield?
The planning route for a glazed rear extension in Ince-in-Makerfield is set by England's householder rules and your council.
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. Before any drawing we look up the property's history with the council, because earlier extensions and removed rights change the answer.
What are homes in Ince-in-Makerfield like to extend?
Stone and brick terraces are common around Ince-in-Makerfield. Where houses back onto a ginnel or alley, deliveries can come in from the rear, which makes the build tidier.
