Working in Norbury
Site visits are available across Norbury (CR7, SE19, SE27, SW16). Neighbouring towns we cover include Upper Norwood (1 mile), Streatham (1 mile), Tooting (2 miles), South Norwood (2 miles).
For homes towards Surrey, Ewell is around 7 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.

Planning rules that apply in Norbury
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.
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.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).
Who a glass extension suits
- Small infill spaces and side returns
- Garden-facing dining rooms
- Period and listed-style houses where a light touch is wanted
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.

Common questions in Norbury
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Norbury, 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 Norbury 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 long does a glass extension take to build in Norbury?
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 £3,900 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 Norbury.
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.
