Do I need planning permission in Hanworth?
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.
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.
Building regulations approval is separate from planning. In England you can use the council's building control team or a registered building control approver; a full plans application gets the drawings checked before work starts, and the inspector signs the work off with a completion certificate.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).
What is included
- Steel or glass beams and slim-frame glazing
- Design with specialist glazing input
- Planning drawings that show the glass detail
- Solar-control and low-energy glass specification
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.

Working in Hanworth
Across TW2, TW12, TW13, TW14, we can visit, measure and advise. We also work in nearby Hampton (2 miles), Feltham (2 miles), Hounslow (3 miles), Isleworth (3 miles).
Just over the Surrey border, West Molesey is about 2 miles away. In London, space is at a premium and gardens are often short, so side returns, wraparounds and carefully planned rear extensions tend to make the most of every metre.

Site visits are free and there is no obligation. Where drawings are needed, the design stage is priced in writing before it starts.

Questions people ask about glass extensions
Do you cover all of Hanworth?
Yes. We cover Hanworth and the surrounding parts of Greater London. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Do I need building regulations approval in Hanworth?
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 Hanworth, 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 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.
How much does a glass extension cost?
Our guide range is about £3,900 to £7,540 per m² including VAT, because structural glass is made to order. A 12 m² standard-spec glass extension is typically £54,500 to £69,000 in Hanworth.
