Glazed and glass-box rear extensions in North Wales
Full-height glass, slim frames and big rooflights for the most open rear room. Across North Wales we handle the whole rear extension: survey, drawings, the planning route, building control and the build. Towns we cover here include Wrexham, Buckley and Deeside.
A wide sliding door with one long rooflight, rather than a fully glazed roof, keeps a glass-led extension usable in summer. Older terraces near the centre and post-war semis further out are typical of North Wales. Sloping sites are common in Wales, so floor levels and retaining walls are designed at the start.
How much does a glazed rear extension cost in North Wales?
Guide prices for a glazed rear extension in North Wales start from our Wales rate of £2,600–£4,460 per square metre, including VAT. Prices in Wales sit below our West Midlands baseline; sloping sites are the main variable.
| Size | Guide price inc VAT |
|---|---|
| 3 m wide × 4 m deep (12 m²) | £31,000–£53,500 |
| 4 m wide × 6 m deep (24 m²) | £62,500–£107,000 |
These are guide ranges; the written quote after the survey is the figure that counts.
Do you need planning permission in North Wales?
The Welsh Government's householder rules let many homes add a single-storey rear extension up to 4 metres deep and 4 metres high without a planning application. Deeper projects go through a householder application, because Wales has no prior approval route.
Wales has its own Approved Document L, with targets for walls, roofs, floors and glazing similar to but not identical with England's. Heavily glazed designs are checked with a calculation.
Conservation areas, National Parks and National Landscapes restrict permitted development in Wales, and listed buildings need listed building consent.

FAQ
Questions people ask
Will a glass extension be too hot?
Not if it is designed for its orientation, with solar-control glass, shading and ventilation.
Sliding or bifold doors?
Sliders give bigger panes and slimmer sightlines; bifolds open the whole width. Our guide compares them.
Can I have a level threshold?
Yes, with a drainage channel outside the doors and the slab set to the patio level.
Do you cover all of North Wales?
We cover 14 towns and districts in North Wales, including Wrexham, Buckley and Deeside.
Who builds the extension?
Vetted building teams working under contract to us; your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd.
