Local to Stockport
We cover Stockport and the postcode districts M19, SK1, SK2, SK3, SK4, SK5. We also work in nearby Hazel Grove (2 miles), Cheadle Hulme (3 miles), Denton (4 miles), Hyde (4 miles).
For homes towards Cheshire, Wilmslow is around 6 miles away. Across the North West, terraced houses with small rear yards suit compact rear and side return extensions, while suburban semis have room for more.
Planning and approvals in Stockport
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 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.
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).

Questions people ask about glass extensions
Do I need building regulations approval in Stockport?
Yes. Almost every extension needs it, whatever the planning route. We prepare the drawings and book the inspections.
Do you cover all of Stockport?
Yes. We cover Stockport and the surrounding parts of Greater Manchester. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
How long does a glass extension take to build in Stockport?
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 £2,850 to £5,510 per m² including VAT, because structural glass is made to order. A 12 m² standard-spec glass extension is typically £39,500 to £50,500 in Stockport.
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.
