Pitched and lean-to roof rear extensions in Cambridgeshire
Lean-to, gable and hipped roofs that give a vaulted ceiling. We design and build rear extensions across Cambridgeshire, from Peterborough and Cambridge to Wisbech, covering single-storey kitchen extensions, two-storey additions, side returns and wraparounds.
Pitched roofs suit the cottages and slate-roofed houses in parts of Cambridgeshire. Cambridgeshire mixes Victorian terraces with 1930s semis, so both side returns and full-width kitchen extensions suit houses here.
How much does a pitched-roof rear extension cost in Cambridgeshire?
A pitched-roof rear extension in Cambridgeshire is priced at £2,120–£3,440 per square metre including VAT as a guide, before kitchen fit-out and fees. East of England prices run slightly above our West Midlands baseline; clay soils near trees are the main foundation variable.
| Size | Guide price inc VAT |
|---|---|
| 3 m wide × 4 m deep (12 m²) | £25,500–£41,500 |
| 4 m wide × 5 m deep (20 m²) | £42,500–£69,000 |
These are guide ranges; the written quote after the survey is the figure that counts.
Do you need planning permission in Cambridgeshire?
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 Cambridgeshire?
We cover 11 towns and districts in Cambridgeshire, including Peterborough, Cambridge and Wisbech.
