Covering Hexham
Site visits are available across Hexham (NE46). The same team covers Morpeth (22 miles), Cramlington (22 miles), Bedlington (23 miles), Ashington (25 miles), all within easy reach.
Consett, in County Durham, is roughly 14 miles from Hexham and also on our list. Across the North East, houses often have rear yards or modest gardens, so compact, well-lit single-storey extensions make the biggest difference.

- Those who want daylight without overheating
- Period and detached houses with a garden view
- Homeowners replacing an older conservatory
Do I need planning permission in Hexham?
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.
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).
What happens next
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
First, a site visit: we look at the house, garden, access and drains and listen to what you need.
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
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.
Common questions in Hexham
Do you cover all of Hexham?
Yes. We cover Hexham and the surrounding parts of Northumberland. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Will my neighbours in Hexham 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 an orangery extension take to build in Hexham?
On site, typically 10 to 16 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 6–12 weeks design and approvals.
How much does an orangery cost?
Our guide range is about £2,180 to £4,100 per m² including VAT, so a 16 m² standard-spec orangery is typically £40,500 to £51,000 in Hexham.
Will an orangery be too hot in summer?
Not if it is designed with solar-control glass, a solid perimeter and ventilation. We size the lantern and opening vents with that in mind.
