Glazed rear extension in Ormskirk
For homes in Ormskirk, 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.
We cover Ormskirk (L39 and WN8) as part of our Lancashire work. If your garden in Ormskirk faces south, expect us to talk about overhangs and solar-control glass before frame colours.

Do you need planning permission for a glazed rear extension in Ormskirk?
Planning for a glazed rear extension in Ormskirk follows the English householder rules.
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. 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 Ormskirk like to extend?
Stone and brick terraces are common around Ormskirk. Where houses back onto a ginnel or alley, deliveries can come in from the rear, which makes the build tidier.

FAQ
Glazed rear extension questions in Ormskirk
Do I need a party wall agreement?
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.
Is there a limit on how much glass I can have?
In England the simple rule is 25% of the floor area plus openings removed; more is allowed with a calculation showing the house still meets Part L.
What postcode areas do you cover around Ormskirk?
Including L39 and WN8, and the surrounding Lancashire area.
Do you handle building control in Ormskirk?
Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.

We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
