Pitched and lean-to roof rear extensions in the Isle of Wight
Lean-to, gable and hipped roofs that give a vaulted ceiling. We design and build rear extensions across the Isle of Wight, from Newport and Ryde to Cowes, covering single-storey kitchen extensions, two-storey additions, side returns and wraparounds.
Island and remote addresses in the Isle of Wight are by arrangement: we confirm whether we can take the job, and agree any travel costs, before the first visit.
Pitched roofs suit the cottages and slate-roofed houses in parts of the Isle of Wight. Commuter semis and detached houses make up much of the Isle of Wight, 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 the Isle of Wight?
A pitched-roof rear extension in the Isle of Wight is priced at £2,240–£3,640 per square metre including VAT as a guide, before kitchen fit-out and fees. 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 |
These are guide ranges; the written quote after the survey is the figure that counts.
Do you need planning permission in the Isle of Wight?
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 the Isle of Wight?
We cover 6 towns and districts in the Isle of Wight, including Newport, Ryde and Cowes. Remote and island addresses are by arrangement.
