Two-storey rear extension in Cockington
We plan and build two-storey rear extensions for homeowners in Cockington. A larger kitchen downstairs and an extra bedroom or bathroom upstairs, under one roof. Start with a free site visit, then a written price once the design is agreed.
We cover Cockington (TQ1, TQ2 and TQ3) as part of our Devon work. Two-storey rear extensions suit semi-detached houses in Cockington best, where the extra bedroom matters as much as the bigger kitchen.

Do you need planning permission for a two-storey rear extension in Cockington?
The planning route for a two-storey rear extension in Cockington is set by England's householder rules and your council.
England's rules allow a rear extension of more than one storey without an application only when it is no deeper than 3 metres and at least 7 metres from the boundary opposite the rear wall, and never on designated land. Most two-storey schemes need householder planning permission.
Conservation areas, National Parks, National Landscapes and the Broads restrict permitted development, and listed buildings always need listed building consent. We check your house's planning history and any conservation area before drawing, so the route is clear before you spend on plans.
What are homes in Cockington like to extend?
Stone-built and rendered houses are common around Cockington, so matching the walling is a design decision in its own right: natural stone, reconstituted stone or a render finish across old and new.

FAQ
Two-storey rear extension questions in Cockington
Can I live at home while the extension is built?
Usually yes. Most of the work is outside until the back wall is opened near the end, and that stage is screened off.
Can you match the brick or stone on my Cockington house?
We source the closest match and show you samples before ordering; reclaimed materials are often the best match on older houses.
Will we need to move out?
Rarely. The first-floor opening is made late in the job and sealed with temporary screens.
Who will build my extension?
Vetted building teams working under contract to us. Your contract is with S&K Property Investments and Improvement Ltd for the design and the build.
What postcode areas do you cover around Cockington?
Including TQ1, TQ2 and TQ3, and the surrounding Devon area.
Do you handle building control in Cockington?
Yes. We apply to the council or a registered building control approver and hand over the completion certificate.
