Glazed rear extension in Prudhoe
Thinking about a glazed rear extension in Prudhoe? Full-height glass, slim frames and big rooflights for the most open rear room. Our team handles the drawings, the planning route and the build, and your contract is with one company throughout.
Prudhoe is covered from our Northumberland round, including NE42. A wide sliding door with one long rooflight, rather than a fully glazed roof, keeps a glass-led extension usable in summer.

How much does a glazed rear extension cost in Prudhoe?
For Prudhoe we work from the North East England rate: £2,520–£4,320 per square metre of new floor, including VAT, standard specification. North East prices are among the lowest in our range; former mining ground is the main foundation variable.
| Size | Guide price inc VAT |
|---|---|
| 3 m wide × 4 m deep (12 m²) | £30,000–£52,000 |
| 4 m wide × 6 m deep (24 m²) | £60,500–£103,500 |
We put a fixed price in writing once the design is agreed, and explain any provisional sums such as foundations.
Do you need planning permission for a glazed rear extension in Prudhoe?
The planning route for a glazed rear extension in Prudhoe is set by England's householder rules and your council.
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. 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 Prudhoe like to extend?
Brick terraces, colliery houses and post-war semis make up much of Prudhoe. Former mining areas often need a coal mining risk check before foundations are designed.
