Roof lanterns and rooflights for rear extensions in Staffordshire
Lanterns, flat rooflights and walk-on glass that bring light deep into the plan. We design and build rear extensions across Staffordshire, from Stoke-on-Trent and Newcastle under Lyme to Burton upon Trent, covering single-storey kitchen extensions, two-storey additions, side returns and wraparounds.
Rear extensions in Staffordshire gain most from a rooflight placed against the old back wall, where the room would otherwise be darkest. 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.
What does it cost in Staffordshire?
As a guide, £2,200–£4,500 including VAT. Ground conditions, glazing, the roof and how far the house is opened up move the final figure within the range.
What approvals does it need in Staffordshire?
New fabric must meet Approved Document L (2021 edition incorporating 2023 amendments): walls 0.18, roof 0.15 and floor 0.18 W/m²K, windows 1.4 W/m²K or Band B. Under the simple route, new windows, doors and rooflights should not exceed 25% of the extension floor area plus any openings removed; more glass is possible with a whole-house calculation.
Conservation areas, National Parks, National Landscapes and the Broads restrict permitted development, and listed buildings always need listed building consent.
