Bordon glass extensions, designed and built
If you live in Bordon and want more space without moving, a glass extension is one of the most practical ways to get it. We handle the drawings, approvals and the build.
- Guide price in BordonFrom £33,500 inc VAT

What is included
- Design with specialist glazing input
- Planning drawings that show the glass detail
- Drainage details for frameless roofs
- Steel or glass beams and slim-frame glazing
Solar gain is the risk. We specify solar-control glass, plan for opening vents or sliding panels, and avoid fully glazed roofs on south-facing extensions unless shading is included.
Planning and approvals in Bordon
In England a glazed or orangery-style extension follows the same size limits as any single-storey rear extension: 3 m or 4 m without an application, or up to 6 m and 8 m through prior approval. Building regulations limit glazing to about a quarter of the new floor area plus the openings it replaces, unless whole-house calculations show the design still performs.
Before any drawing is finalised we check whether the house is listed, in a conservation area or subject to an Article 4 direction.
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).
Working in Bordon
Postcode districts we cover around Bordon include GU35. Nearby, we also take on projects in Alton (5 miles), Aldershot (10 miles), Fleet (12 miles), Farnborough (13 miles).
Just over the Surrey border, Farnham is about 7 miles away. In the South East, plenty of houses have already been extended once, which makes checking the remaining permitted development allowance an important early step.

Questions people ask about glass extensions
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Bordon, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
Do I need building regulations approval in Bordon?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
Will my neighbours in Bordon 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.
How much does a glass extension cost?
Our guide range is about £3,360 to £6,500 per m² including VAT, because structural glass is made to order. A 12 m² standard-spec glass extension is typically £47,000 to £59,500 in Bordon.
Are glass extensions cold in winter?
Modern double or triple glazing with warm-edge spacers and underfloor heating keeps them comfortable. They are not as warm as a solid room, and we explain the trade-off honestly.
