On average, the cost of planning, supplying materials for and installing a glass extension sits around £1,500 to £3,000 per square meter.
However, this can vary heavily based on a number of factors, as well as the specifics of the kind of glass extension that you want.
This means that the actual price range might be completely different, depending on what you are looking for.
Some factors that might change the cost of your glass extension include:
There are a lot of elements that can go into glass box extensions, and our team are able to walk you through the expected costs.

There is a range of useful benefits to adding glass box extensions to your existing home. Our team can ensure that each of the glass room extensions we create provides some key upsides, such as:
Each glass box extension we create is able to be adjusted and customised in various ways, such as adding more options for natural light or using glazed extension windows that restrict visibility from outside your home.
Every one of the structural glass units we create can be adapted to suit different roles, whether that means frosting and glazing panels for a private dining space or keeping them clear for a full view of the garden from the dining area.
We construct glass rooms based on the client’s needs. This could include things like improved thermal efficiency through glazed extensions, following modern architecture for a modern home, or even sticking to the architectural style of a period property.
A glass box extension is a structural glass extension made mostly with glass windows, often focusing on a modern design.
These are still made underneath the right building regulations as normal extensions but trade regular walls for glass panels. Using panels means more visibility in exchange for privacy unless the glass itself is frosted.
This kind of extension is meant to boost visibility and let in natural light, making it a common choice for an extension that goes into a garden space.
However, they can also provide extra floor space overall and offer better visibility of a garden or any other private space that they are facing.
Most glass extensions are made with a modern design style, although not all of them.
Like most modern extensions, these can involve a full range of different additions and features, from a pitched roof with roof windows to a seamless connection for frameless glass extensions.
Of course, our team can also focus on keeping the style consistent with the original house.
We are able to construct structural glass box extensions to suit a range of needs, whether that means a double-height extension or something with a specific kind of flush-glazed hinged doors.
Not every glass extension needs foundations.
However, if the glass extension needs foundation work, this will have to be considered as part of the overall glass extension costs.
A glass conservatory is generally a separate room, while a glass extension is usually seamless with the room (or rooms) it is attached to.
If a conservatory was built as part of another room with no wall or door in between, it is effectively a glass extension of that room.
A glass extension will generally be more expensive than a brick-built one.
However, if you want natural lighting, the cost of a brick extension with a lot of windows might be similar or even higher than just building a glass box extension from scratch.
Certain things may change this. For example, IQ glass glazing and damp proofing may add to the costs, but you may also save more money overall with IQ glass glazing.
Using IQ glass glazing as an example, the higher initial cost of IQ glass glazing may make your extension cheaper in the long term.
Like planning permission for regular extensions, a glass extension may require planning permission if it does not fall under permitted development rights.
Permitted development allows you to do certain kinds of work without needing planning permission – we can help you find out if your project qualifies or not.
The specifics behind what does and does not fall under permitted development are hard to judge, but our team can guide you through what it means and whether or not your project plan would need permission.
