Pitched and lean-to roof rear extensions in Staffordshire
Lean-to, gable and hipped roofs that give a vaulted ceiling. Across Staffordshire we handle the whole rear extension: survey, drawings, the planning route, building control and the build. Towns we cover here include Stoke-on-Trent, Newcastle under Lyme and Burton upon Trent.
Pitched roofs suit the cottages and slate-roofed houses in parts of Staffordshire. Red-brick terraces and 1930s semis make up much of Staffordshire. Many already have a small kitchen lean-to at the back, which a new rear extension usually replaces rather than adds to.
How much does a pitched-roof rear extension cost in Staffordshire?
Guide prices for a pitched-roof rear extension in Staffordshire start from our West Midlands rate of £2,000–£3,250 per square metre, including VAT. The West Midlands is the baseline for our guide prices.
| Size | Guide price inc VAT |
|---|---|
| 3 m wide × 4 m deep (12 m²) | £24,000–£39,000 |
| 4 m wide × 5 m deep (20 m²) | £40,000–£65,000 |
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 Staffordshire?
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.
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 Staffordshire?
We cover 19 towns and districts in Staffordshire, including Stoke-on-Trent, Newcastle under Lyme and Burton upon Trent.
Who builds the extension?
