Glazed rear extension in Elland
Glazed rear extension in Elland: 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.
We cover Elland (HD6, HX4 and HX5) as part of our West Yorkshire 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 Elland?
A glazed rear extension in Elland is priced at £2,600–£4,460 per square metre including VAT as a guide, before kitchen fit-out and fees. Yorkshire prices sit below our West Midlands baseline; matching natural stone is the main variable.
| Size | Guide price inc VAT |
|---|---|
| 3 m wide × 4 m deep (12 m²) | £31,000–£53,500 |
| 4 m wide × 6 m deep (24 m²) | £62,500–£107,000 |
These are guide ranges; the written quote after the survey is the figure that counts.
Do you need planning permission for a glazed rear extension in Elland?
The planning route for a glazed rear extension in Elland is set by England's householder rules and your council.
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 Elland like to extend?
Stone terraces and brick semis are typical of Elland. Matching sandstone or gritstone on a terrace is one of the biggest cost variables, and reclaimed stone is often the best match.

FAQ
Glazed rear extension questions in Elland
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.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Elland house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
Does glass need planning permission?
The same rules apply as any rear extension; glass does not change the depth or height limits.
Can I live at home while the extension is built?
Usually yes. Most of the work is outside until the back wall is opened near the end, and that stage is screened off.
Will I need a structural engineer?
Yes for the beam over the new opening and usually the foundations; we arrange them and their calculations go to building control.
Is the site visit in Elland free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
