Mid Wales
Roof lanterns and rooflights for rear extensions in Mid Wales
Lanterns, flat rooflights and walk-on glass that bring light deep into the plan. We design and build rear extensions across Mid Wales, from Newtown and Brecon to Welshpool, covering single-storey kitchen extensions, two-storey additions, side returns and wraparounds.
Rear extensions in Mid Wales gain most from a rooflight placed against the old back wall, where the room would otherwise be darkest. Older terraces near the centre and post-war semis further out are typical of Mid Wales. Sloping sites are common in Wales, so floor levels and retaining walls are designed at the start.
What does it cost in Mid Wales?

Wales has its own Approved Document L, with targets for walls, roofs, floors and glazing similar to but not identical with England's. Heavily glazed designs are checked with a calculation.
Conservation areas, National Parks and National Landscapes restrict permitted development in Wales, and listed buildings need listed building consent.
