Pitched and lean-to roof rear extensions in West Yorkshire
Lean-to, gable and hipped roofs that give a vaulted ceiling. Rear extensions in West Yorkshire: we cover 38 towns including Leeds, Bradford and Huddersfield, with design, approvals and the build under one contract.
Pitched roofs suit the cottages and slate-roofed houses in parts of West Yorkshire. West 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 West Yorkshire?
Guide prices for a pitched-roof rear extension in West Yorkshire start from our Yorkshire and the Humber rate of £1,860–£3,020 per square metre, including VAT. Yorkshire prices sit below our West Midlands baseline; matching natural stone is the main variable.

Do you need planning permission in West Yorkshire?
English permitted development (Class A) allows a single-storey rear extension of 3 metres on a terraced or semi-detached house and 4 metres on a detached one, measured from the original house, with a maximum height of 4 metres and eaves of no more than 3 metres 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 West Yorkshire?
We cover 38 towns and districts in West Yorkshire, including Leeds, Bradford and Huddersfield.
Who builds the extension?
Vetted building teams working under contract to us; your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd.
