Planning rules that apply in Redcar
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.
Applications are decided by the local planning authority (your district, borough or unitary council).
What is included
- Planning drawings that show the glass detail
- Whole-house energy calculations where needed
- Solar-control and low-energy glass specification
- Steel or glass beams and slim-frame glazing
- Drainage details for frameless roofs

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
With the design and specification agreed, you get a fixed written price and a start date.
Build and sign-off
We build it with one project manager, book the building control inspections and hand over the completion certificate.
Glass extension questions answered
How long does a glass extension take to build in Redcar?
On site, typically 10 to 16 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 8–14 weeks design and approvals.
Will my neighbours in Redcar 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.
Who do I contract with for a glass extension in Redcar?
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.
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 £2,820 to £5,450 per m² including VAT, because structural glass is made to order. A 12 m² standard-spec glass extension is typically £39,000 to £50,000 in Redcar.
