Glazed rear extension in Aldridge
Glazed rear extension in Aldridge: 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.
Aldridge is covered from our West Midlands round, including WS9. 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 Aldridge?
Whether your glazed rear extension in Aldridge 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 Aldridge like to extend?
Red-brick terraces and 1930s semis make up much of Aldridge. 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 Aldridge
What postcode areas do you cover around Aldridge?
Including WS9, and the surrounding West Midlands area.
Do you handle building control in Aldridge?
Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.

Yes, with a drainage channel outside the doors and the slab set to the patio level.

Our online guide-price tool gives a range in a couple of minutes. A written price needs a survey.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Aldridge house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
