Pitched and lean-to roof rear extensions in Buckinghamshire
Lean-to, gable and hipped roofs that give a vaulted ceiling. We design and build rear extensions across Buckinghamshire, from Milton Keynes and High Wycombe to Aylesbury, covering single-storey kitchen extensions, two-storey additions, side returns and wraparounds.
Pitched roofs suit the cottages and slate-roofed houses in parts of Buckinghamshire. Commuter semis and detached houses make up much of Buckinghamshire, and longer gardens make England's prior approval route for deeper rear extensions worth considering.
How much does a pitched-roof rear extension cost in Buckinghamshire?
Guide prices for a pitched-roof rear extension in Buckinghamshire start from our South East England rate of £2,240–£3,640 per square metre, including VAT. South East prices run above our West Midlands baseline, mainly on labour rates and clay-soil foundations.
| Size | Guide price inc VAT |
|---|---|
| 3 m wide × 4 m deep (12 m²) | £27,000–£43,500 |
| 4 m wide × 5 m deep (20 m²) | £45,000–£73,000 |
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 in Buckinghamshire?
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.
Conservation areas, National Parks, National Landscapes and the Broads restrict permitted development, and listed buildings always need listed building consent.

FAQ
Questions people ask
Will a lean-to fit under my windows?
We check the sill heights at the survey; low windows usually mean a flat roof instead.
Are roof windows allowed?
Yes; they are the usual way to bring light into a pitched-roof extension.
Is a pitched roof more expensive?
Slightly, typically a few per cent more than a flat roof of the same area.
Do you cover all of Buckinghamshire?
We cover 13 towns and districts in Buckinghamshire, including Milton Keynes, High Wycombe and Aylesbury.
