Glazed rear extension in Fulwood
We plan and build glazed and glass-box rear extensions for homeowners in Fulwood. 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.
Fulwood and its postcode districts S10, S11 and S17 are part of our South Yorkshire coverage. 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 Fulwood?
Here is how the rules in England apply to a glazed rear extension in Fulwood.
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. 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 Fulwood like to extend?
Stone terraces and brick semis are typical of Fulwood. Matching sandstone or gritstone on a terrace is one of the biggest cost variables, and reclaimed stone is often the best match.

Yes for the beam over the new opening and usually the foundations; we arrange them and their calculations go to building control.
