Glass verandas in Greetham
Aluminium and glass verandas in Greetham, fixed to the house properly so you can sit out whatever the weather.
A 4m × 3m aluminium and glass veranda typically costs £9,000–£14,000 supplied and fitted, and a 6m × 3m £15,000–£22,000. Side screens, lighting and heaters are priced on top. A veranda fixed to the house is treated like a single storey rear extension: usually permitted development if it stays within the extension depth and height limits, does not face a road and is not on a listed house.

Glass verandas in Greetham: what is involved
A veranda is an aluminium-framed roof fixed to the back wall of the house, with clear glass or polycarbonate panels and a built-in gutter, so you can sit out in the rain and the kitchen still gets its light.
Greetham is a limestone village just west of the A1, with a historic core of stone cottages and farm buildings, later infill and estate housing, and Greetham Valley on its edge. Many drives here are being widened for more cars or replaced after decades of gravel.
We cover Greetham (LE15) and the villages around it, including Cottesmore, Stretton, Clipsham, Exton and Thistleton.
Ground and conservation in Greetham
Greetham sits on the Lincolnshire Limestone, which generally drains well, though Rutland's flood strategy names Greetham among the places with a few properties at river flood risk, so low-lying plots need more thought. Limestone often sits close to the surface in Greetham, so post holes can hit rock; we break out to the right depth rather than setting posts short, and watch for old fill near the house.
Greetham has a conservation area and no Article 4 direction. Outside listed buildings, front driveways and walls follow normal permitted development, and stone-coloured materials suit the village.

Permissions in Greetham
- PlanningA veranda fixed to the house is treated like a single storey rear extension: usually permitted development if it stays within the extension depth and height limits, does not face a road and is not on a listed house. Open-sided verandas under 30m² are usually exempt from building regulations. Listed buildings and the Greetham conservation area have tighter rules, so we check your address before anything is designed. Planning Portal: extensions
- TreesTrees in a conservation area need six weeks' notice before work, and protected trees need consent; both are free. Rutland County Council: tree works
- Building regulationsAn open-sided veranda under 30m² is usually exempt. Closing it in with glass walls can change that, so we check with Leicestershire Building Control Partnership (LBCP) first.
- Design and priceWe measure up, check the ground and the planning position, and give you one fixed written price.
