These guide figures apply our Yorkshire and the Humber adjustment (×0.94) to national rates. They include VAT at 20% and cover the build itself; design and council fees are listed separately.
Typical rates in South Yorkshire: £1,880 to £3,570 per m² including VAT, depending on specification.

Who an annexe extension suits
- Relatives who need support close by
- Multi-generational families
- Homes with a large side or rear garden
Accessibility is cheaper to design in than to retrofit. Level access, a 900 mm door width, a level-access shower and space to turn a wheelchair can all be planned into the footprint for little extra cost.
Will the council need to approve it?
In England an annexe that stays part of the household and connects to the house is assessed as an extension, but its size usually takes it beyond permitted development, so a householder application describing the ancillary use is the normal route.
Homes in conservation areas, national parks, National Landscapes (formerly AONBs), the Broads and World Heritage Sites have tighter rules, so we always check the property's status and planning history before design starts.
If the work involves a shared wall, building on the boundary, or digging foundations within 3 m (sometimes 6 m) of a neighbour's building, the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 applies and notice must be served before work starts: two months for work to a party wall, one month for new walls on the boundary and for excavations.
Building over or within 3 m of a public sewer needs the water company's consent, usually through a build-over agreement, before the foundations go in.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).
Extensions in and around South Yorkshire
Towns we cover in South Yorkshire include Sheffield, Rotherham, Doncaster, Barnsley, Darton, Dinnington, Adwick le Street, Rawmarsh. Yorkshire and the Humber combines stone-built terraces in the Pennine towns with brick semis and newer estates elsewhere, so materials and roof details need matching with care.
Our process, step by step
Site visits are free and there is no obligation. Where drawings are needed, the design stage is priced in writing before it starts.
Free site visit
First, a site visit: we look at the house, garden, access and drains and listen to what you need.
Design and approvals
We produce the drawings and structural design, and manage the approvals so they are in place before work starts.
Fixed written price
The price is fixed in writing once the design is settled, with a clear programme and payment stages.
Build and sign-off
We build it with one project manager, book the building control inspections and hand over the completion certificate.
Common questions in South Yorkshire
Do you cover all of South Yorkshire?
Yes, across the whole of South Yorkshire. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for South Yorkshire, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
Will my neighbours in South Yorkshire be involved?
If a planning application or prior approval is needed, the council notifies neighbours. If the work is on or near a shared boundary, party wall notices may also be needed.
Will an annexe affect council tax?
It can. Some annexes are assessed separately for council tax, with discounts or exemptions in some cases when occupied by a relative. Check with the Valuation Office Agency (England and Wales), your local assessor (Scotland) or Land & Property Services (Northern Ireland).
Can the annexe have its own front door?
Yes, many do, but it should still connect to the main house to stay clearly part of it.
