Knocking through to a rear extension in Lincolnshire
Steel beams, padstones and props to open the back of the house safely. We design and build rear extensions across Lincolnshire, from Lincoln and Grimsby to Scunthorpe, covering single-storey kitchen extensions, two-storey additions, side returns and wraparounds.
Older houses in Lincolnshire often have solid brick back walls carrying a lot of weight, so the steel design comes early. Red-brick terraces and semis are typical of Lincolnshire. Coal-mining legacy areas in parts of the East Midlands can need a Coal Authority check before foundations are designed.
What does it cost in Lincolnshire?
As a guide, £3,500–£9,000 including VAT. Your written price follows a measured survey and an agreed design, so it reflects your house, not an average.
What approvals does it need in Lincolnshire?
Every rear extension in England needs Building Regulations approval, whether or not planning is needed. You can use the council's building control service or a registered building control approver, by full plans (checked before work, usually within five weeks) or a building notice, and you get a completion certificate at the end.
Conservation areas, National Parks, National Landscapes and the Broads restrict permitted development, and listed buildings always need listed building consent.

FAQ
Questions people ask
Can the whole back wall come out?
Often, with a beam across the full width or a goalpost frame. Some walls need a short pier left at the ends.
Do I need building control for a beam?
Yes. The calculations and the installed steel are checked.
How long does it take?
The wall itself usually comes out in a day or two, timed for when the extension is weathertight.
Do you cover all of Lincolnshire?
We cover 17 towns and districts in Lincolnshire, including Lincoln, Grimsby and Scunthorpe.
