Pitched and lean-to roof rear extensions in North Wales
Lean-to, gable and hipped roofs that give a vaulted ceiling. We design and build rear extensions across North Wales, from Wrexham and Buckley to Deeside, covering single-storey kitchen extensions, two-storey additions, side returns and wraparounds.
Pitched roofs suit the cottages and slate-roofed houses in parts of North Wales. North Wales has Victorian terraces near the centre and semis further out. Welsh permitted development allows up to 4 metres at the rear for many houses.
How much does a pitched-roof rear extension cost in North Wales?
A pitched-roof rear extension in North Wales is priced at £1,860–£3,020 per square metre including VAT as a guide, before kitchen fit-out and fees. Prices in Wales sit below our West Midlands baseline; sloping sites are the main variable.
| Size | Guide price inc VAT |
|---|---|
| 3 m wide × 4 m deep (12 m²) | £22,500–£36,500 |
| 4 m wide × 5 m deep (20 m²) | £37,000–£60,500 |
These are guide ranges; the written quote after the survey is the figure that counts.
Do you need planning permission in North Wales?
In Wales a single-storey rear extension can often be permitted development if it projects no more than 4 metres beyond the rear wall and is no more than 4 metres high. Wales has no prior approval route for deeper extensions, so anything bigger needs a householder planning application.
Conservation areas, National Parks and National Landscapes restrict permitted development in Wales, and listed buildings 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.

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.
