Builders: straight answers
How much does an extension cost in Leeds?
A single-storey extension in Leeds typically costs £1,800 to £3,200 per square metre. A 15 to 20 m² kitchen extension is usually £35,000 to £50,000.
Do I need planning permission?
Many single-storey rear extensions fall under permitted development, but check with Leeds City Council planning before you start.
Should I pay a deposit?
Keep deposits small and tied to materials. Pay in stages as work is finished, never the full amount upfront.
