Glass Extensions in Lancashire
Lancashire is the county we have built in more than any other. Six completed projects, from glass links joining farm buildings in West Lancashire to full glazing packages on rural farmhouses. We are twenty minutes from Ormskirk and under half an hour from Preston, with our own workshop and our own installation teams.
The County We Have Built In Most
Lancashire is not a market we are trying to break into. It is where a large share of our completed work already is — Lower Hud Farm, Sugar Hill, Heyes Mount, Popes Farm, a glass link and office extension, and a full Cortizo door and balustrade package. Six projects, all of them bespoke, most of them rural.
That matters because rural Lancashire glazing is its own discipline. Farmhouses and stone barns move and settle over a century or more, openings are rarely square, and the structure you are glazing into was never designed to carry glass. Every one of those jobs was measured on site by us and made to fit the building as it actually is, not as the drawing says it should be.
Everything is fabricated in our own workshop in Aintree, twenty minutes from the West Lancashire border.

Our Lancashire Projects
At Lower Hud Farm we delivered a full glazing package to a working farmhouse. At Popes Farm we built a glass link corridor connecting two separate buildings — one of our most requested rural details, and one that solves a problem brick simply cannot. Sugar Hill and Heyes Mount in West Lancashire were both contemporary bespoke glazing schemes, and we have also completed a glass link and office extension, and a custom Cortizo sliding door and balustrade installation.
The recurring Lancashire brief is joining things together: a farmhouse to a barn, a house to an annexe, an old building to a new one. A glazed link does that without pretending the two structures were ever one, which is usually what makes it acceptable in planning terms as well as the right answer architecturally.

Planning, National Landscapes and Rural Lancashire
Lancashire is a patchwork of planning authorities rather than one. Preston, South Ribble, Chorley, West Lancashire, Fylde, Wyre, Lancaster, Ribble Valley, Burnley, Pendle, Rossendale and Hyndburn each run their own planning departments, and Blackburn with Darwen and Blackpool are separate unitary authorities again.
Two designations matter most for the kind of work we do. The Forest of Bowland is a National Landscape, formerly an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, covering much of the Ribble Valley and north east Lancashire — and Arnside and Silverdale is another in the far north of the county. Inside these, the visual impact of an extension carries more weight than almost anywhere else, and permitted development rights are commonly restricted.
There is also a great deal of Green Belt across West Lancashire and south of Preston. The good news is that glass tends to argue well in both settings: a lightweight, transparent structure reads as a smaller intrusion than the equivalent volume in stone or brick, and against an old agricultural building it makes the distinction between old and new completely honest.
Many rural Lancashire buildings are also listed, or sit within a curtilage that is. We have worked on listed rural properties and will tell you at survey stage whether we think a design will get through.
What Affects the Cost of a Glass Extension?
Every project is priced individually, but the things that move the number most are consistent:
- Pane size. Cost per square metre rises sharply once panels exceed what two people can lift, because you are then into crane hire.
- Frameless versus framed. Structural silicone jointing and minimal sightlines carry a premium over a framed system.
- The condition of what you are glazing into. On a farmhouse or barn, making good an old opening is frequently a bigger job than the glazing itself.
- Glass specification. Solar control coatings, triple glazing and thermal performance all add cost, and matter more on an exposed rural site.
- Access. Rural Lancashire plots usually have generous access for a crane, which genuinely helps the number. Farm tracks and soft ground do not.
Send us your drawings, or even a photo of the building, and we will give you a realistic budget range before you spend anything.
Glass Extensions in Lancashire — Common Questions
Yes — it is our most requested rural Lancashire detail and we have completed several, including a glass link corridor at Popes Farm and a glass link and office extension. A glazed link connects two buildings without pretending they were ever one structure, which is usually both the right architectural answer and the easiest to get through planning.
