Glazed rear extension in Eastwood
Full-height glass, slim frames and big rooflights for the most open rear room. We design, get the approvals for and build glazed and glass-box rear extensions in Eastwood and the surrounding area, with one contract from the first survey to building control sign-off.
We cover Eastwood (NG16) as part of our Nottinghamshire work. If your garden in Eastwood faces south, expect us to talk about overhangs and solar-control glass before frame colours.

How much does a glazed rear extension cost in Eastwood?
For Eastwood we work from the East Midlands rate: £2,720–£4,660 per square metre of new floor, including VAT, standard specification. East Midlands prices sit a little below our West Midlands baseline.
| Size | Guide price inc VAT |

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 Eastwood?
Here is how the rules in England apply to a glazed rear extension in Eastwood.
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 Eastwood like to extend?
Eastwood has plenty of inter-war semis and bungalows, and single-storey rear extensions suit both.
