How much does a terraced house rear extension cost in Stanley?
For Stanley we work from the North East England rate: £1,840–£2,970 per square metre of new floor, including VAT, standard specification. North East prices are among the lowest in our range; former mining ground is the main foundation variable.

| 3 m wide × 6 m deep (18 m²) | £33,000–£53,500 |
Ground conditions, glazing, the roof and how far the house is opened up move the final figure within the range.
Do you need planning permission for a terraced house rear extension in Stanley?
Whether your terraced house rear extension in Stanley needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.
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.
The Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies in England: you serve notice two months before work to a shared wall, and one month before digging foundations within 3 metres (or 6 metres for deeper foundations) of a neighbour's building. Neighbours can agree in writing; if they dissent, surveyors agree an award.
Conservation areas, National Parks, National Landscapes and the Broads restrict permitted development, and listed buildings always need listed building consent. At the first visit we measure what is there now and tell you which route fits: permitted development, prior approval or a planning application.
What are homes in Stanley like to extend?
Brick terraces, colliery houses and post-war semis make up much of Stanley. Former mining areas often need a coal mining risk check before foundations are designed.

FAQ
Terraced house rear extension questions in Stanley
Will I need a structural engineer?
Yes for the beam over the new opening and usually the foundations; we arrange them and their calculations go to building control.
Do I need a party wall agreement?
In England, usually yes if the extension is on or near a shared boundary or the foundations are close to a neighbour's building. We serve the notices.
Will my terrace be in a conservation area?
Many Victorian terraces are. Your council's map shows it; we check at the survey.
How long does a rear extension take to build in Stanley?
Most single-storey rear extensions take 10 to 16 weeks on site and two-storey extensions 16 to 26 weeks, after design and approvals.
Who will build my extension?
Vetted building teams working under contract to us. Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd for the design and the build.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Stanley house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
