Glazed rear extension in Leek
Glazed rear extension in Leek: full-height glass, slim frames and big rooflights for the most open rear room. We measure the house, show you what the rules allow, price it in writing and build it.
Leek and its postcode districts ST13 are part of our Staffordshire coverage. A wide sliding door with one long rooflight, rather than a fully glazed roof, keeps a glass-led extension usable in summer.

Ground conditions, glazing, the roof and how far the house is opened up move the final figure within the range.
Do you need planning permission for a glazed rear extension in Leek?
Whether your glazed rear extension in Leek needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.
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. 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 Leek like to extend?
Red-brick terraces and 1930s semis make up much of Leek. 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 Leek
Can you match the brick or stone on my Leek house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
Is the site visit in Leek free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
Sliding or bifold doors?
Sliders give bigger panes and slimmer sightlines; bifolds open the whole width. Our guide compares them.
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.
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.
Can I get a price without a visit?
Our online guide-price tool gives a range in a couple of minutes. A written price needs a survey.
