Glazed rear extension in Maghull
We plan and build glazed and glass-box rear extensions for homeowners in Maghull. Full-height glass, slim frames and big rooflights for the most open rear room. Start with a free site visit, then a written price once the design is agreed.
Maghull is covered from our Merseyside round, including L31. 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 Maghull?
Here is how the rules in England apply to a glazed rear extension in Maghull.
English permitted development (Class A) allows a single-storey rear extension of 3 metres on a terraced or semi-detached house and 4 metres on a detached one, measured from the original house, with a maximum height of 4 metres and eaves of no more than 3 metres 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 Maghull like to extend?
Maghull has long runs of terraced houses with back yards and alleys, plus 1930s semis further out. Yard extensions on terraces are often single-storey and close to both boundaries.

FAQ
Glazed rear extension questions in Maghull
Can you match the brick or stone on my Maghull house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
Can I get a price without a visit?
Our online guide-price tool gives a range in a couple of minutes. A written price needs a survey.
Will a glass extension be too hot?
Not if it is designed for its orientation, with solar-control glass, shading and ventilation.
Can I live at home while the extension is built?
Usually yes. Most of the work is outside until the back wall is opened near the end, and that stage is screened off.
Is the site visit in Maghull free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
