Pitched and lean-to roof rear extensions in South Yorkshire
Lean-to, gable and hipped roofs that give a vaulted ceiling. Across South Yorkshire we handle the whole rear extension: survey, drawings, the planning route, building control and the build. Towns we cover here include Sheffield, Rotherham and Doncaster.
Pitched roofs suit the cottages and slate-roofed houses in parts of South Yorkshire. South Yorkshire has through terraces and some back-to-backs as well as later semis; back-to-backs have little or no rear space, so we look at side or loft options there.
How much does a pitched-roof rear extension cost in South Yorkshire?
In South Yorkshire, our guide for a pitched-roof rear extension is £1,860–£3,020 per square metre including VAT for a standard specification. Yorkshire prices sit below our West Midlands baseline; matching natural stone is 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 South Yorkshire?
Under England's householder permitted development rules you can usually add 3 metres at the back of an attached house, or 4 metres on a detached house, without a planning application, as long as the extension stays under 4 metres high and its eaves stay under 3 metres where it 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.

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.
