Glazed rear extension in Newport
For homes in Newport, 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.
Newport and its postcode districts TF10 are part of our Shropshire coverage. Glass-led rear extensions in Newport are planned around which way the garden faces, because that decides the glass specification.

Your written price follows a measured survey and an agreed design, so it reflects your house, not an average.
Do you need planning permission for a glazed rear extension in Newport?
Planning for a glazed rear extension in Newport follows the English householder rules.
Under England's householder permitted development rules you can usually add 3 metres at the back of an attached house, or 4 metres on a detached house, without a planning application, as long as the extension stays under 4 metres high and its eaves stay under 3 metres where it 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 Newport like to extend?
Red-brick terraces and 1930s semis make up much of Newport. Many already have a small kitchen lean-to at the back, which a new rear extension usually replaces rather than adds to.

FAQ
Glazed rear extension questions in Newport
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 Newport free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
Can I have a level threshold?
Yes, with a drainage channel outside the doors and the slab set to the patio level.
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.
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.
Will I need a structural engineer?
Yes for the beam over the new opening and usually the foundations; we arrange them and their calculations go to building control.
