Pitched and lean-to roof rear extensions in Worcestershire
Lean-to, gable and hipped roofs that give a vaulted ceiling. We design and build rear extensions across Worcestershire, from Worcester and Redditch to Kidderminster, covering single-storey kitchen extensions, two-storey additions, side returns and wraparounds.
Pitched roofs suit the cottages and slate-roofed houses in parts of Worcestershire. Worcestershire has a lot of post-war semis and estate houses with long gardens and side access, which makes rear extensions quicker to build.
How much does a pitched-roof rear extension cost in Worcestershire?
A pitched-roof rear extension in Worcestershire is priced at £2,000–£3,250 per square metre including VAT as a guide, before kitchen fit-out and fees. 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 |
We put a fixed price in writing once the design is agreed, and explain any provisional sums such as foundations.
Do you need planning permission in Worcestershire?
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.

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.
