Everything you need to know about planning, designing, and building a rear extension to your Yorkshire home.
A rear extension is one of the most transformative home improvements available to Yorkshire homeowners. Adding space to the back of your home — whether a single storey or two storeys — can dramatically change how you live, bringing more light, more space, and a better connection with your garden.
The process begins with understanding what is possible on your plot. Our architects will assess your property, review permitted development rights, and prepare a scheme that maximises the benefit of the extension while respecting the character of your home and neighbourhood.
Key design decisions for a rear extension include: single or double storey; pitched or flat roof; full-height glazing or masonry with windows; rooflights; materials (matching or contrasting with the existing house). Each of these decisions has planning, cost, and lifestyle implications that our architects will guide you through.
Once the design is agreed, we handle planning (if required), building regulations, structural engineering, and the full build. Our in-house team delivers every stage, ensuring quality and accountability throughout.
