How much do glazed extensions cost?

There is no set cost for glazed extensions as they differ so much in their design. However, some of the main factors affecting their price include:

• Their size
• The roof they're fitted with (glass, tiled or lantern)
• The windows and doors
• If opting for a conservatory, the conservatory style will also affect the price
• The quality of the installation

This list is not extensive and there are other factors affecting the cost of glazed extensions. If you'd like to discuss them in more depth or you have a query, feel free to get in touch with us to discuss it further.

Popular glazed extension styles

As we mentioned above, a glass roof kitchen extension is very popular with homeowners at the moment. However, a lantern roof is just as good when creating a bright and spacious kitchen extension.

Many homeowners like the idea of glazed lean-to extension too. This might take the form of a lean-to conservatory (pictured left), which is a minimalistic conservatory style with a contemporary edge. Or, it might just take the lean-to style as a starting point and build out from there to create something very different.

Energy-efficient conservatories and orangeries for your Manchester home

We strictly use only the best performing double glazing, plus we offer a variety of glass options to improve thermal performance further or reduce solar gain.

Planning permissions for glazed extensions

You may be wondering whether you need planning permission for a new conservatory, orangery or home extension. Recently, planning regulations have been relaxed meaning that more homeowners are able to extend without having to apply for planning permissions.

Do you need planning permission for glass extensions?

Single story extensions are covered by these permitted rights as long as the extension doesn't exceed the original home by more than 3m on attached properties. For detached homes, the extension shouldn't extend the rear of the original home by more than 4m.

However, there are exceptions to the regulations. For example, properties in conservation areas. If you are unsure about your specific property, we can advise on whether planning permissions will be needed, and the best solution for your home.
