Pitched and lean-to roof rear extensions in Norfolk
Lean-to, gable and hipped roofs that give a vaulted ceiling. We design and build rear extensions across Norfolk, from Norwich and Great Yarmouth to King's Lynn, covering single-storey kitchen extensions, two-storey additions, side returns and wraparounds.
Pitched roofs suit the cottages and slate-roofed houses in parts of Norfolk. Post-war semis and newer estates are typical of Norfolk, and many have room for a full-width extension. Shrinkable clay is common in the East of England, so foundations near trees and hedges are designed to NHBC-style depth guidance.
How much does a pitched-roof rear extension cost in Norfolk?
For Norfolk we work from the East of England rate: £2,120–£3,440 per square metre of new floor, including VAT, standard specification. 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 |
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 Norfolk?
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 Norfolk?
We cover 11 towns and districts in Norfolk, including Norwich, Great Yarmouth and King's Lynn.
