Local to Dukinfield
Across M34, OL6, OL7, SK15, SK16, we can visit, measure and advise. We also work in nearby Ashton-under-Lyne (1 mile), Stalybridge (1 mile), Hyde (2 miles), Denton (2 miles).
Just over the Cheshire border, Wilmslow is about 12 miles away. Across the North West, terraced houses with small rear yards suit compact rear and side return extensions, while suburban semis have room for more.
When a flat roof extension makes sense
- Modern and 1930s onwards houses
- Homeowners who want maximum light from above
- Extensions under first-floor windows where a pitch will not fit
Planning and approvals in Dukinfield
In England a single-storey rear extension can usually go up to 3 m beyond the original rear wall of a semi-detached or terraced house, or 4 m on a detached house, without a planning application, provided it is no more than 4 m high, keeps eaves to 3 m within 2 m of a boundary and, with other buildings, covers no more than half the land around the original house. The larger home extension prior approval scheme raises those depths to 6 m and 8 m, with neighbours notified and a 42-day decision.
Before any drawing is finalised we check whether the house is listed, in a conservation area or subject to an Article 4 direction.
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).

Your questions about a flat roof extension in Dukinfield
Who do I contract with for a flat roof extension in Dukinfield?
Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd, which designs and manages the project and the build teams who carry it out.
Do I need building regulations approval in Dukinfield?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Dukinfield, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
Are flat roof extensions cheaper?
Usually slightly, because there is less roof structure and no tiles. Our guide range is about £1,660 to £3,180 per m² including VAT.
Can I walk on a flat roof extension?
Only for maintenance unless it is designed as a terrace. A roof terrace or balcony needs planning permission and a different structure.
