Covering New Milton
Across BH25, we can visit, measure and advise. Neighbouring towns we cover include Hythe (14 miles), Totton (14 miles), Southampton (15 miles), Eastleigh (20 miles).
In the South East, plenty of houses have already been extended once, which makes checking the remaining permitted development allowance an important early step.
What we take care of
- Drainage details for frameless roofs
- Steel or glass beams and slim-frame glazing
- Design with specialist glazing input
- Whole-house energy calculations where needed
Do I need planning permission in New Milton?
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.
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 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).
From first visit to completion
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
It starts with a visit to your house to measure, check access and talk through ideas and budget.
Design and approvals
Once the layout is agreed, we deal with the council: planning permission or written confirmation that none is needed, plus building control.
Fixed written price
You receive a written, itemised price and programme. Nothing starts until you are happy with it.
Build and sign-off
We build it with one project manager, book the building control inspections and hand over the completion certificate.
Your questions about a glass extension in New Milton
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for New Milton, 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 you cover all of New Milton?
Yes. We cover New Milton and the surrounding parts of Hampshire. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
How long does a glass extension take to build in New Milton?
On site, typically 10 to 16 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 8–14 weeks design and approvals.
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 New Milton.
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.
