Terraced house rear extension in Stratford
Rear and side return extensions for terraces, with access through the house and two neighbours. We design, get the approvals for and build rear extensions for terraced houses in Stratford and the surrounding area, with one contract from the first survey to building control sign-off.
We cover Stratford (E7, E12 and E15) as part of our Greater London work. On a Stratford terrace both neighbours usually need party wall notices or agreement, so we talk to them early.

How much does a terraced house rear extension cost in Stratford?
Guide prices for a terraced house rear extension in Stratford start from our London rate of £2,660–£4,290 per square metre, including VAT. London prices sit at the top of our range because of labour rates, access through the house, parking suspensions and skip licences.

Your written price follows a measured survey and an agreed design, so it reflects your house, not an average.
Do you need planning permission for a terraced house rear extension in Stratford?
Whether your terraced house rear extension in Stratford 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. We check your house's planning history and any conservation area before drawing, so the route is clear before you spend on plans.
What are homes in Stratford like to extend?
Period terraces in Stratford sit alongside flats, and the difference matters: houses usually keep permitted development rights, while flats and maisonettes need planning permission for any rear extension.

FAQ
Terraced house rear extension questions in Stratford
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.
Do you handle building control in Stratford?
Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.
Will my terrace be in a conservation area?
Many Victorian terraces are. Your council's map shows it; we check at the survey.
Can I get a price without a visit?
Our online guide-price tool gives a range in a couple of minutes. A written price needs a survey.
Can I live at home while the extension is built?
Usually yes. Most of the work is outside until the back wall is opened near the end, and that stage is screened off.
Is the site visit in Stratford free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
