Pitched and lean-to roof rear extensions in Herefordshire
Lean-to, gable and hipped roofs that give a vaulted ceiling. We design and build rear extensions across Herefordshire, from Hereford and Leominster to Ross on Wye, covering single-storey kitchen extensions, two-storey additions, side returns and wraparounds.
Pitched roofs suit the cottages and slate-roofed houses in parts of Herefordshire. Red-brick terraces and 1930s semis make up much of Herefordshire. Many already have a small kitchen lean-to at the back, which a new rear extension usually replaces rather than adds to.
How much does a pitched-roof rear extension cost in Herefordshire?
In Herefordshire, our guide for a pitched-roof rear extension is £2,000–£3,250 per square metre including VAT for a standard specification. The West Midlands is the baseline for our guide prices.

| 4 m wide × 5 m deep (20 m²) | £40,000–£65,000 |
Your written price follows a measured survey and an agreed design, so it reflects your house, not an average.
Do you need planning permission in Herefordshire?
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.

Is a pitched roof more expensive?
Slightly, typically a few per cent more than a flat roof of the same area.
