Terraced house rear extension in Woking

We plan and build rear extensions for terraced houses for homeowners in Woking. 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.

Woking and its postcode districts GU21 and GU22 are part of our Surrey coverage. In Woking we plan the delivery route through the house and the skip licence before anything else.

Terraced house rear extension prices in Woking
SizeGuide price inc VAT
3 m wide × 4.5 m deep (13.5 m²)£31,000–£50,000

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 Woking?

Whether your terraced house rear extension in Woking needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.

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. 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 Woking like to extend?

Woking has a mix of Victorian terraces near the centre and larger Edwardian and inter-war houses further out. Clay soils across much of the South East mean deeper foundations near trees, which we plan for at the survey.

  1. Free site visit

    We measure the house and garden, look at the back wall, drainage and boundaries, and talk through what you want from the space.

  2. Options and costs

    We draw layout options and price each one, so the budget shapes the design rather than surprising you later.

FAQ

Terraced house rear extension questions in Woking

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.

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 deep can I go on a terrace?

3 metres under permitted development in England, or up to 6 metres with prior approval outside designated land.

What postcode areas do you cover around Woking?

Including GU21 and GU22, and the surrounding Surrey area.

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.
