Pitched and lean-to roof rear extensions in Oxfordshire
Lean-to, gable and hipped roofs that give a vaulted ceiling. We design and build rear extensions across Oxfordshire, from Oxford and Banbury to Abingdon, covering single-storey kitchen extensions, two-storey additions, side returns and wraparounds.
Pitched roofs suit the cottages and slate-roofed houses in parts of Oxfordshire. Commuter semis and detached houses make up much of Oxfordshire, 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 Oxfordshire?
A pitched-roof rear extension in Oxfordshire 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 |
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 Oxfordshire?
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 Oxfordshire?
We cover 13 towns and districts in Oxfordshire, including Oxford, Banbury and Abingdon.
