Rear Extensions Nuneaton
A rear extension is the most popular way to add living space to your home. Whether you’re extending the kitchen, creating an open-plan dining area, or adding a complete new living room, a rear extension in Nuneaton delivers practical space and significant property value.
Parker Grears Developments specialises in rear extensions across Nuneaton, Hinckley, Coventry, and throughout Warwickshire. We build single-storey rear extensions for immediate impact, and double-storey rear extensions for maximum space and return on investment. Every project is fully managed from design through to handover.
Why Rear Extensions Are the Most Popular Choice
Rear extensions make perfect sense for homeowners wanting to extend their living space without using valuable front garden area. They connect seamlessly to your existing home, can add anything from an extra 150 sq ft to 500+ sq ft of usable space, and create the perfect opportunity for open-plan living with large glazed doors opening onto your garden.
A rear extension is versatile — whether you’re adding a kitchen-diner, expanding your lounge, or creating a bedroom plus bathroom upstairs, a rear extension solution works. And many single-storey rear extensions can be built under Permitted Development Rights, saving you time and planning costs.
Single-Storey vs Double-Storey Rear Extensions
Single-Storey Rear Extensions
A single-storey rear extension adds ground-floor space only, perfect for:
– Kitchen-diners — Extending the kitchen and opening into a dining area with bifold doors onto the garden
– Family living rooms — Creating a bright, spacious family space adjacent to your kitchen
– Utility spaces — Adding a dedicated utility room or home office
– Playrooms — Extra space for growing families
Advantages:
– Often eligible for Permitted Development Rights (no planning application needed)
– Faster and more affordable than double-storey
– Typically 10-16 weeks to completion
– Cost range: £60,000 to £120,000

Double-Storey Rear Extensions
A double-storey rear extension adds space on both ground and first floors, giving you:
– Ground floor — Large open-plan kitchen-diner-living area with garden connection
– First floor — Additional bedroom, en-suite, or multi-purpose space
Advantages:
– Maximum space increase for your investment
– Greatest property value gain (70-90% ROI)
– Creates truly transformed living spaces
– Ideal for growing families
Considerations:
– Requires planning permission (usually granted for well-designed proposals)
– Longer timescale (16-24 weeks)
– Higher investment (£90,000 to £180,000)

Bifold Doors, Rooflights & Creating Open-Plan Living
Modern rear extensions are all about connection and light. We specialise in creating stunning open-plan spaces using:
Bifold & Sliding Doors — High-quality, thermally efficient doors that open your extension fully to the garden, creating seamless indoor-outdoor living.
Rooflights & Skylights — Flood your space with natural light, reducing the need for artificial lighting and creating bright, welcoming rooms.
Open-Plan Layouts — Breaking down barriers between kitchen, dining, and living areas to create flowing, modern family spaces.
The result is a light-filled, modern home that feels infinitely larger and more connected to your garden.
Planning Permission for Rear Extensions
Single-storey rear extensions in Nuneaton can often be built under Permitted Development Rights, avoiding the need for a formal planning application. However, size limits and local rules apply.
Double-storey rear extensions typically require planning permission, which we handle on your behalf.
We provide clear advice during your consultation on whether your extension qualifies, and if planning permission is needed, we manage the entire process — from design through to approval and building control sign-off.
Our FMB and TrustMark credentials mean local authorities trust our work and approval often flows smoothly.

Single-storey rear extensions: 10-16 weeks, £60,000-£120,000
Double-storey rear extensions: 16-24 weeks, £90,000-£180,000
