Pitched and lean-to roof rear extensions in Somerset
Lean-to, gable and hipped roofs that give a vaulted ceiling. We design and build rear extensions across Somerset, from Bath and Weston-super-Mare to Taunton, covering single-storey kitchen extensions, two-storey additions, side returns and wraparounds.
Pitched roofs suit the cottages and slate-roofed houses in parts of Somerset. Somerset has Victorian terraces nearer the centre and post-war semis on the edges. Sloping gardens are frequent, which affects floor levels and steps down to the patio.
How much does a pitched-roof rear extension cost in Somerset?
Guide prices for a pitched-roof rear extension in Somerset start from our South West England rate of £2,080–£3,380 per square metre, including VAT. South West prices run slightly above our West Midlands baseline; natural stone to match the house is the main variable.
| Size | Guide price inc VAT |
|---|---|
| 3 m wide × 4 m deep (12 m²) | £25,000–£40,500 |
| 4 m wide × 5 m deep (20 m²) | £41,500–£67,500 |
These are guide ranges; the written quote after the survey is the figure that counts.
Do you need planning permission in Somerset?
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 Somerset?
We cover 19 towns and districts in Somerset, including Bath, Weston-super-Mare and Taunton.
