Two-storey rear extension in Churchdown
For homes in Churchdown, a two-storey rear extension is often the simplest way to gain space without moving. A larger kitchen downstairs and an extra bedroom or bathroom upstairs, under one roof. We take it from survey to completion certificate.
Churchdown is covered from our Gloucestershire round, including GL3, GL4 and GL51. In Gloucestershire we check the neighbours' rear windows first, because the upper floor is where most two-storey schemes win or lose planning.

A two-storey rear extension in Churchdown is priced at £1,870–£2,810 per square metre including VAT as a guide, before kitchen fit-out and fees. South West prices run slightly above our West Midlands baseline; natural stone to match the house is the main variable.

We put a fixed price in writing once the design is agreed, and explain any provisional sums such as foundations.
Do you need planning permission for a two-storey rear extension in Churchdown?
Whether your two-storey rear extension in Churchdown needs a planning application depends on its size, your house and any local restrictions.
A two-storey rear extension can be permitted development in England only if it projects no more than 3 metres, stays at least 7 metres from the rear boundary, matches the existing roof pitch and has obscure-glazed upper side windows. In practice most double-storey rear extensions go through a householder planning application.
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 Churchdown like to extend?
Churchdown has Victorian terraces nearer the centre and post-war semis on the edges. Sloping gardens are frequent, which affects floor levels and steps down to the patio.

FAQ
Two-storey rear extension questions in Churchdown
Is the site visit in Churchdown free?
Yes. We visit, measure up and talk through the options with no cost and no obligation.
How long does a rear extension take to build in Churchdown?
Most single-storey rear extensions take 10 to 16 weeks on site and two-storey extensions 16 to 26 weeks, after design and approvals.
Does a two-storey rear extension need planning permission?
Almost always. England and Northern Ireland allow 3 metres without an application only if at least 7 metres remains to the rear boundary; Wales and Scotland are similar or stricter.
Do I need a party wall agreement?
In England, usually yes if the extension is on or near a shared boundary or the foundations are close to a neighbour's building. We serve the notices.
Will I need a structural engineer?
Yes for the beam over the new opening and usually the foundations; we arrange them and their calculations go to building control.
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.
