Ponteland, Northumberland
Glazed rear extension in Ponteland
For homes in Ponteland, 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.
Ponteland is covered from our Northumberland round, including NE20. Glass-led rear extensions in Ponteland are planned around which way the garden faces, because that decides the glass specification.

Do you need planning permission for a glazed rear extension in Ponteland?
Planning for a glazed rear extension in Ponteland 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 Ponteland like to extend?
Terraces and semis are typical around Ponteland. On terraces a single-storey rear extension across the back yard is usually the practical choice; semis often have room for more. A wide sliding door with one long rooflight, rather than a fully glazed roof, keeps a glass-led extension usable in summer.

FAQ
Glazed rear extension questions in Ponteland
How much does a glazed rear extension cost in Ponteland?
As a guide, £2,520–£4,320 per square metre including VAT for a standard specification. For example, 3 m wide × 4 m deep (12 m²): about £30,000–£52,000 at that rate. Your written price follows the survey.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Ponteland house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
Sliding or bifold doors?
Sliders give bigger panes and slimmer sightlines; bifolds open the whole width. Our guide compares them.
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.
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.
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.
