Single-storey extensions in Goole

Covering Goole

We work in Goole (DN14) and the places around it, including Selby, Scunthorpe and Bentley.

Homes in Yorkshire and the Humber

Yorkshire has a strong mix of stone terraces, red-brick semis and modern estates, plus conservation areas in many historic towns and villages.

What is included in a single-storey extension in Goole?

We design the extension around how you use the house: where the light comes from, how the new room joins the old one, and what happens to the drains and the garden. The structure is built in brick or block to match the house, finished with a flat roof and lantern or a pitched roof, then insulated, plastered and handed back ready to decorate.

What will a single-storey extension cost?

Typical ranges for single-storey extensions. Ground conditions, access and specification move the final figure, which we fix in writing before work starts.

Single-storey extensions	Guide price incl. VAT
Standard specification	£2,600 to £3,000 per m²
Good specification	£3,000 to £3,500 per m²
High specification	£3,500 to £4,000 per m²

What approvals does a single-storey extension need in England?

English projects need planning clearance from the local council, building regulations sign-off from building control, and party wall notices where the work is on or near a shared boundary. We prepare and manage all three.

In England a single-storey rear extension can often go ahead under permitted development: up to 3 m deep on an attached house or 4 m on a detached one, no higher than 4 m, with eaves no higher than 3 m within 2 m of a boundary. Deeper extensions, up to 6 m or 8 m, need prior approval from the council first.

What can change the price or programme?

Large glazed areas need to meet energy rules, which can shape the size of doors and rooflights.
Kitchens and doors have long lead times, so we order them early.

What happens after I enquire?

Start with a conversation. A short call or the online form is enough for us to understand what you want to build.
Free site visit. We measure up, look at access, drains and the structure, and talk through options and budget.
Design and fixed price. You get drawings and a written price for the agreed specification before anything is ordered.
Construction and completion. One site lead co-ordinates every trade through to the building control certificate.

What people ask before starting

Do I need planning permission for a single-storey extension?

Often not in England, if the extension stays within permitted development limits: 3 m deep on an attached house or 4 m on a detached house, and no higher than 4 m. Larger ones need prior approval or a planning application. Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own rules.

Can we stay in the house during the build?

Usually yes. We keep the existing house closed off from the works until the knock-through near the end, and agree a temporary kitchen set-up with you if the kitchen is affected.

Do you work in Goole?

Yes. Goole is within our coverage for single-storey extensions, along with nearby Selby and Scunthorpe.
