Glazed rear extension in Maesteg
We plan and build glazed and glass-box rear extensions for homeowners in Maesteg. Full-height glass, slim frames and big rooflights for the most open rear room. Start with a free site visit, then a written price once the design is agreed.
We cover Maesteg (CF34) as part of our South Wales Valleys work. A wide sliding door with one long rooflight, rather than a fully glazed roof, keeps a glass-led extension usable in summer.

Do you need planning permission for a glazed rear extension in Maesteg?
Planning for a glazed rear extension in Maesteg follows the Welsh householder rules.
Welsh permitted development allows a single-storey rear extension of up to 4 metres in depth and 4 metres in height, subject to boundary and garden-coverage limits. There is no larger-extension prior approval scheme in Wales.
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. 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 Maesteg like to extend?
Maesteg is largely terraced streets on sloping ground, where back gardens step up or down from the house. Excavation, retaining walls and drainage are priced at the survey.
