Pitched roof extensions across Fleet
If you live in Fleet and want more space without moving, a pitched roof extension is one of the most practical ways to get it. We handle the drawings, approvals and the build.
- Guide price in FleetFrom £24,500 inc VAT
- PlanningOften permitted development (3–4 m), or prior approval up to 6–8 m
- Build time10–16 weeks on site

Included in a typical project
- Roof windows positioned for light and ventilation
- Vaulted ceilings or flat ceilings with storage above
- Insulation to current building regulations
- Lead or proprietary flashings to the main wall
- Roof design matched to the existing pitch and tiles
Matching tiles is harder than it sounds. We source reclaimed or closest-match tiles where the originals are no longer made and agree samples with you before ordering.
Will the council need to approve it?
In England a single-storey rear extension can usually go up to 3 m beyond the original rear wall of a semi-detached or terraced house, or 4 m on a detached house, without a planning application, provided it is no more than 4 m high, keeps eaves to 3 m within 2 m of a boundary and, with other buildings, covers no more than half the land around the original house. The larger home extension prior approval scheme raises those depths to 6 m and 8 m, with neighbours notified and a 42-day decision.
The planning position for a specific Fleet address depends on its history and any designations, which is why we check it at the first visit.
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).

In the South East, plenty of houses have already been extended once, which makes checking the remaining permitted development allowance an important early step.

Pitched roof extension questions answered
How long does a pitched roof extension take to build in Fleet?
On site, typically 10 to 16 weeks once approvals are in place. Before that, allow 6–12 weeks design and approvals.
Do you cover all of Fleet?
Yes. We cover Fleet and the surrounding parts of Hampshire. Site visits are free and there is no obligation.
Can I see a price before committing to anything?
Yes. The guide prices on this page are adjusted for Fleet, and the guide-price tool gives a range for your own size. After the survey you get a written price before anything is agreed.
How much does a pitched roof extension cost?
Our guide range is about £2,070 to £3,920 per m² including VAT, a little more than a flat roof because of the roof structure and tiles.
Can I have a vaulted ceiling?
Yes. A vaulted ceiling with roof windows is one of the main reasons to choose a pitched roof. It needs insulation between and under the rafters to meet the building regulations.
