Terraced house rear extension in Radcliffe
We plan and build rear extensions for terraced houses for homeowners in Radcliffe. Rear and side return extensions for terraces, with access through the house and two neighbours. Start with a free site visit, then a written price once the design is agreed.
Radcliffe and its postcode districts BL9, M26 and M45 are part of our Greater Manchester coverage. On a Radcliffe terrace both neighbours usually need party wall notices or agreement, so we talk to them early.

Do you need planning permission for a terraced house rear extension in Radcliffe?
Here is how the rules in England apply to a terraced house rear extension in Radcliffe.
Under England's householder permitted development rules you can usually add 3 metres at the back of an attached house, or 4 metres on a detached house, without a planning application, as long as the extension stays under 4 metres high and its eaves stay under 3 metres where it is 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. Before any drawing we look up the property's history with the council, because earlier extensions and removed rights change the answer.
What are homes in Radcliffe like to extend?
Radcliffe has long runs of terraced houses with back yards and alleys, plus 1930s semis further out. Yard extensions on terraces are often single-storey and close to both boundaries.

FAQ
Terraced house rear extension questions in Radcliffe
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.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Radcliffe house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
How do you keep the house clean?
Dust screens, floor protection and a single protected route through the house.
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.
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.
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.
