A pitched roof extension has the potential to transform the style, value, and appeal of your home. As such, it is crucial that the design, planning, and construction of a pitched roof extension should be carried out by professionals, such as architects and contractors, to ensure structural integrity, compliance with building regulations, and successful integration with the existing property.

Apart from that, the expertise and experience of a professional team can help you to optimise the potential of the design and space while enabling you to avoid the many common mistakes that could prove costly in the long run.

While home extensions are a cost-effective alternative to acquiring more living space without moving houses; the cost of a house extension itself is dependent upon a number of variables including:

• The design/ complexity of the extension
• The size of the extension
• The location
• Groundwork
• Building Materials
• Fittings and fixtures
• Specialists’ fees

As such, pitched roof extensions may range in cost from £55K to £70K.

Therefore, it is imperative to find the right experts who ensure that the extension adds style and value to your home, making your home extension a truly worthwhile investment.

Not necessarily.

The requirement for planning permission for an extension depends largely on the design and dimensions of the build. More often than not, if the extension falls under permitted developments, planning permission is not required.

However, permitted developments have specific criteria and limitations which must be adhered to, such as:

• Extensions must not take up more than half the land around the original house
• Extensions cannot be higher than the highest part of the existing roof
• Materials used for the exterior of the extension must be similar in appearance to that of the exterior of the original house
• Side extensions can only be single-storied and cannot exceed more than half the width of the original house

Moreover, extensions built on properties listed in conservation areas will need planning permission irrespective of their design. The planning portal provides homeowners with comprehensive information regarding any requirements or specifications for their proposed extensions. 

Planning permission can take up to 8 weeks for approval and requires a detailed application including structural diagrams of the proposed extension. In addition to planning permission, building regulations approval and party wall agreements must also be considered to ensure that the proposed extension meets the building guidelines and standards.

Good Design and Build oversees this entire process for our clients. From the primary survey of the location and the design of the proposed extension to coordinating with the local council and securing the requisite approvals. This allows homeowners to experience the extension process stress-free.

Though viewed as a relatively costly roof design, pitched roofs bring with them many advantages. Some of which include:

• Pitched roofs blend better with traditional houses, making them more favoured by planning departments.
• A pitched roof provides more insulation (allowing you to keep energy bills down).
• Pitched roofs tend to have a longer lifespan as they are more weather resistant.
• The increased ceiling height offered by pitched roofs creates an interior that appears airier and more spacious.

We do it all.

From surveying the site and securing building approval to designing tailored extensions and ensuring regular on-site management of the build, we oversee every aspect of the process from start to finish, ensuring a stress-free experience for homeowners.

This goes without saying but there’s complete transparency, accountability, and flexibility throughout the extension process, as we design high-quality home extensions that are specific to our client’s requirements, and come backed by warranties.
