Will the council need to approve it?
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.
The planning position for a specific Wolverhampton address depends on its history and any designations, which is why we check it at the first visit.
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).
Included in a typical project
- Design with specialist glazing input
- Solar-control and low-energy glass specification
- Whole-house energy calculations where needed
- Planning drawings that show the glass detail
- Steel or glass beams and slim-frame glazing
Working in Wolverhampton
Across WV1, WV2, WV3, WV4, WV6, WV10, we can visit, measure and advise. The same team covers Wednesfield (2 miles), Willenhall (3 miles), Tipton (5 miles), Wednesbury (5 miles), all within easy reach.
For homes towards Staffordshire, Great Wyrley is around 7 miles away. The West Midlands has a large stock of 1930s and post-war semi-detached houses, which are well suited to rear, side and over-garage extensions, plus Victorian terraces in the older inner areas.

Our process, step by step
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
A designer visits, takes measurements and photos, and discusses layouts, budget and timing with you.
Design and approvals
We produce the drawings and structural design, and manage the approvals so they are in place before work starts.
Fixed written price
We confirm the build price in writing, based on the approved drawings and the finishes you have chosen.
Build and sign-off
We build it with one project manager, book the building control inspections and hand over the completion certificate.
Questions people ask about glass extensions
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Wolverhampton, 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 Wolverhampton?
Yes. We cover Wolverhampton and the surrounding parts of West Midlands. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Will my neighbours in Wolverhampton 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.
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 £2,910 to £5,630 per m² including VAT, because structural glass is made to order. A 12 m² standard-spec glass extension is typically £40,500 to £51,500 in Wolverhampton.
