Homes in Yorkshire and the Humber

Across Yorkshire and the Humber, older stone and brick terraces sit alongside inter-war semis and newer estates, and dormers and rear extensions are designed to suit each.

What is a single-storey extension?

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.

  • Measured survey and design drawings
  • Foundations, drainage and structural steel
  • Brickwork, roof, glazing and insulation

What will a single-storey extension cost?

What single-storey extensions typically cost. These are guide ranges; the written quote for your house replaces them.

Single-storey extensionsGuide 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.

What can change the price or programme?

  • Drains under the footprint may need diverting or a build-over agreement with the water company.
  • Kitchens and doors have long lead times, so we order them early.

How does the project run?

  1. Send us the details. Give us a postcode, a rough idea of size and some photos, by phone, form or the guide price tool.
  2. Survey at your house. We look at the existing structure, services and access, and agree what the design needs to achieve.
  3. Drawings, approvals, written quote. We prepare the design, apply for the approvals it needs, and give you a fixed price in writing.
  4. We build it. Work follows an agreed programme, with inspections at each stage and a final sign-off.

Most single-storey extensions cost about £2,600 to £4,000 per square metre including VAT, depending on specification, glazing and ground conditions. We give a fixed price in writing for the agreed specification after the survey.
