Glazed rear extension in Uttoxeter
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 Uttoxeter and the surrounding area, with one contract from the first survey to building control sign-off.
We cover Uttoxeter (ST14) as part of our Staffordshire work. A wide sliding door with one long rooflight, rather than a fully glazed roof, keeps a glass-led extension usable in summer.

How much does a glazed rear extension cost in Uttoxeter?
For Uttoxeter we work from the West Midlands rate: £2,800–£4,800 per square metre of new floor, including VAT, standard specification. The West Midlands is the baseline for our guide prices.
| Size | Guide price inc VAT |
|---|---|
| 3 m wide × 4 m deep (12 m²) | £33,500–£57,500 |
| 4 m wide × 6 m deep (24 m²) | £67,000–£115,000 |
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 Uttoxeter?
Whether your glazed rear extension in Uttoxeter needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.
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 Uttoxeter like to extend?
Red-brick terraces and 1930s semis make up much of Uttoxeter. Many already have a small kitchen lean-to at the back, which a new rear extension usually replaces rather than adds to.

Options and costs
We draw layout options and price each one, so the budget shapes the design rather than surprising you later.
Planning and regulations
We take the design through the right planning route, then produce the construction drawings and engineer's calculations for building control.
Written price, then build
Once the design and approvals are in place, you get a fixed written price and programme, and we build through to sign-off.
