Terraced house rear extension in Staines
We plan and build rear extensions for terraced houses for homeowners in Staines. 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.
Staines and its postcode districts TW15, TW16, TW17 and TW18 are part of our Surrey coverage. On a Staines 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 Staines?
For Staines we work from the South East England rate: £2,300–£3,700 per square metre of new floor, including VAT, standard specification. South East prices run above our West Midlands baseline, mainly on labour rates and clay-soil foundations.

We put a fixed price in writing once the design is agreed, and explain any provisional sums such as foundations.
Do you need planning permission for a terraced house rear extension in Staines?
Here is how the rules in England apply to a terraced house rear extension in Staines.
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 Staines like to extend?
Commuter semis and detached houses make up much of Staines, and longer gardens make England's prior approval route for deeper rear extensions worth considering.

Terraced house rear extension questions in Staines

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